Research has been carried out using various methods of injection techniques, surgical intervention and rehabilitation methods for ligament tears, muscle strains and tendon ruptures. Many of these research has the intention of shortening the duration of return to sports for the injured athlete.
Every injured athlete would love to return to training or play as soon as they can. Some may be concerned about the safety of doing so prematurely as they may not be strong enough or having the necessary balance and coordination required for play. Some professional athletes have been troubled by incessant injuries which recur almost every season due to injuries which have not adequately recovered.
Here are a few rules that you can follow to determine whether it is safe to return:
1. Pain-free full range of movement
2. Able to carry the weight of the body or sporting equipment without pain
3. Able to perform the skills required for the sports without pain
4. Completed the necessary rehabilitation program
5. Certified fit by the sports physician or physiotherapist after conducting a series of tests
Check with your doctor or therapist before you return to sports!
