Is your knee ready to return to sport?
Eight questions, built around the same criteria used in knee return-to-sport testing — pain-free motion, hop confidence, strength symmetry, stability, and psychological readiness. This is not a diagnosis. It's a quick, honest look at where you likely stand, so you know what's worth confirming with a physical therapist.
Takes about 2 minutes. No diagnosis given — just a read on where to focus next.
The check
Answer honestly — based on how your knee actually feels right now.
Your result
You may be close — let's confirm with objective testing.
Your answers suggest good pain-free motion, decent confidence under load, and a knee that mostly feels trustworthy. That's a good sign — but "feels ready" and "tests ready" are not always the same knee. The only way to know for certain is a real hop battery, strength comparison, and clinical assessment, not a self-report. This is exactly the kind of case worth confirming with objective testing before you fully return.

Your result
A few gaps worth addressing first.
Your answers point to a knee that's made real progress but still has one or two areas — strength symmetry, confidence under load, stability, or lingering swelling — that are worth closing before you push back into full sport demands. This is a normal, common place to be in the rehab process. The next step is identifying exactly which gap matters most for your case, with a real assessment rather than guessing.

Your result
Let's start with a proper evaluation.
Your answers suggest your knee isn't there yet — whether that's pain, swelling, instability, low confidence, or simply not having been cleared or tested yet. That's not a bad sign, it's useful information. Pushing toward sport demands before these areas are addressed is one of the more common ways knees get reinjured. The right next step is a clinical assessment to figure out exactly what your knee needs and build a real plan from there.

This self-check is for general education only and does not diagnose or replace a clinical assessment. If anything here feels concerning — locking, giving way, significant swelling, or an inability to bear weight — don't wait to be seen.
Where these questions come from
Not made up — drawn from real return-to-sport criteria.
Every question above traces back to a criterion actually used in knee return-to-sport testing — limb symmetry index, hop battery confidence, effusion checks, and psychological readiness scales like the ACL-RSI. None of it is a diagnosis. A self-report can't replace a hop test, a strength comparison, or a clinical exam — but it can tell you honestly whether you're likely close, or whether there's real work left.
