RTS testing after ACLR may be missing a critical piece: the brain. Athletes can pass strength and hop tests while relying more on cognitive control—masking deficits and increasing reinjury risk. Neurocognitive testing may better capture true readiness.
We are looking to hire a post doc with experience in machine learning and data science to help build tools and develop strategies to reduce sports injury. If you are interested in applying or know someone who is, please check out the detailed job description

QT ACL grafts show elevated MRI signal (immature tissue) at 3–6 months post-op, but resemble native ACL by 12 months — supporting a ~12-month biological maturation timeline and reinforcing caution with early return-to-sport decisions.
