No shortage of disagreement between biomechanical and clinical hop symmetry after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

These findings suggest that while individuals after ACLR may on average achieve symmetrical hop-distance, they may not necessarily pass subsequent functional tasks. Further, individual trial-by-trial analyses may provide insight into an individual's true physical capability compared to simply evaluating the average, which may overestimate physical function or mask altered movement strategies.
