Strive to Rebuild Strength Pre-Injury

Injury prevention and rehabilitation for athletes should focus on restoring strength to pre-injury levels as a priority, with the understanding that no definitive 'trash criteria' exists in literature for predicting injury risk through strength benchmarks. For professional athletes, pre-season strength data is typically available, while for others, pre-operative strength can serve as a reference point. Incorporating normative data from literature can enhance rehabilitation strategies, but it's essential to recognize the differences between recreational and professional athletes due to varying activity levels. The TEGNA activity scale offers a useful framework for categorizing patients, thereby aligning rehabilitation goals with appropriate strength reference values.
