Professional fitness testing after orthopedic physical therapy. Post-surgery assessment, ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgery, and orthopedic injury recovery support.
After orthopedic surgery and PT completion, VO₂ max testing helps return to activity:
ACL Reconstruction: Return-to-running and return-to-sport testing after 6-12 months recovery
Shoulder Surgery: Upper-body fitness assessment when cleared for activity
Hip Replacement: Post-op fitness evaluation for safe exercise progression
Knee Replacement: Cardiovascular assessment for rehabilitation support
Ankle/Foot Surgery: Alternative testing (bike) for non-weight-bearing assessment
ACL recovery typically takes 9-12 months. VO₂ max testing supports safe return:
Choose equipment based on surgical site and clearance:
Lower-Body Surgery: Start with bike (non-weight-bearing), progress to treadmill when cleared
Upper-Body Surgery: Treadmill or bike (depending on comfort), add rower when cleared for upper-body load
Multi-Site or Complex: Consult with your PT on appropriate modality
