a loss of terminal knee extension has been correlated with a lack of function and re-injury after ACL repair

after restoring this, re-check single limb stance, hop, etc
3) passive shoulder extension
again, a simple screen that actually checks a common loss of shoulder Mobility and thoracic rotation to the ipsilateral side
the directional preference is then

4) ASLR/PSLR
I enjoy educating patients that their "tight" hamstrings are often just motor control issues or a perception of stretch, but not a "length" issue

this post shows how to make
Rapid Responders out of the seemingly "tightest" hamstrings with 2 easy steps
