There was moderate-certainty evidence of no difference between targeted SMT and a nontargeted approach for pain intensity at postintervention (weighted mean difference = -0.20 [95% CI: -0.51, 0.10]) and at follow-up (weighted mean difference = 0.05 [95% CI: -0.26, 0.36]). For patient-reported disability, there was moderate-certainty evidence of no difference at postintervention (standardized mean difference = -0.04 [95% CI: -0.36, 0.29]) and at follow-up (standardized mean difference = -0.05 [95% CI: -0.24, 0.13]).

The postinjury neuroplasticity can cause neural compensations that increase reliance on neurocognition.

To assess for neural compensations in a clinical setting, we recommend evaluating athletes' neurocognitive reliance by augmenting return-to-sport testing with combined neurocognitive and motor dual-task challenges. In this Viewpoint, we (1) share the latest evidence related to ACL injury neuroplasticity and (2) share simple principles and new assessments with preliminary data to improve return-to-sport decisions following ACL reconstruction. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(8):1-5.

Knee-related QOL was assessed with the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) QOL subscale. Linear mixed models (95% confidence interval [CI]; clustered on sex and sport) compared KOOS QOL between study groups over the study period, considering sex-based differences. We also explored the association of injury type (anterior cruciate ligament [ACL]/meniscus injury or other), knee extensor strength (dynamometry), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (accelerometer), intermittent knee pain (Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain [ICOAP] measure), and fear of reinjury (17-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia) with knee-related QOL. <b>RESULTS:</b> Participant median (range) age was 16.4 (10.9-20.1) years, 67% were female, and 56% of injuries were ACL ruptures.
