Measure mobility, pain, strength, balance, and confidence together. Score each session with practical weighted inputs. Keep rehab notes organized for smarter return decisions today.
| Week | Pain | Swelling | Extension Deficit | Flexion | Strength % | Gait | Balance | Control | Confidence | Estimated Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 95 | 45 | 5 | 18 | 4 | 4 | 49.68 |
| 8 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 120 | 62 | 7 | 28 | 6 | 6 | 65.52 |
| 12 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 132 | 79 | 8 | 41 | 8 | 7 | 79.31 |
| 20 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 140 | 92 | 9 | 55 | 9 | 9 | 92.67 |
The calculator converts each rehab input into a normalized score out of 100. Better pain, swelling, knee extension, flexion, strength, gait, balance, movement control, and confidence raise the final result.
Overall Score = (Pain × 15%) + (Swelling × 10%) + (Extension × 10%) + (Flexion × 15%) + (Strength × 20%) + (Gait × 10%) + (Balance × 10%) + (Control × 5%) + (Confidence × 5%).
Pain and swelling are reverse scored. Lower values are better. Extension deficit is also reverse scored. Flexion is capped against a 140 degree target. Balance uses a 60 second target. Strength uses limb symmetry percentage directly.
Enter your current rehab session values. Use consistent scoring each week. Lower pain and swelling improve the score. Better mobility, symmetry, and control also improve it.
After submission, review the total score, stage, and alert notes. Compare sessions over time. Use the CSV button to save results. Use the PDF button to keep a printable rehab snapshot.
This tool is useful for structured tracking. It is not a diagnosis tool. Final activity progression should come from your surgeon, physiotherapist, or sports rehab specialist.
An ACL rehab progress calculator helps organize recovery data in one place. Many people track pain only. That misses other useful markers. Good rehab review should also include swelling, range of motion, strength symmetry, balance, gait quality, and confidence.
This calculator uses weighted inputs. It combines symptoms and function into one score. Lower pain improves the result. Lower swelling also helps. Full knee extension is highly important early. Flexion improves comfort and movement options. Strength symmetry matters for later loading and athletic return.
Gait quality shows how well daily walking is recovering. Balance hold time gives a simple control marker. Single leg control adds a movement quality check. Confidence matters too. A knee can test well, but fear may still limit performance.
Use the score as a trend tool. One session does not tell the full story. Weekly tracking works better. A rising score often reflects cleaner movement, better symptom control, and stronger loading tolerance. A falling score can highlight overload, swelling, missed extension, or poor session response.
Patients can bring printed results to appointments. Coaches can use it for simple communication. Rehab professionals can compare function with training tolerance. The tool is also useful after hard sessions, return to running phases, and strength blocks.
This calculator does not replace medical clearance. ACL recovery timelines vary by surgery type, graft choice, swelling response, and training history. Some people progress quickly. Others need more time. Always combine score trends with clinician advice, hop testing, strength testing, and symptom review before harder sport tasks.
A higher score usually means better symptom control and function. It does not guarantee return readiness. Use it with professional testing and clearance.
Weekly tracking works well for most people. You can also log after major rehab sessions, strength tests, or running progressions.
Extension loss affects walking, quad function, and knee comfort. Early recovery often improves when extension is restored and protected.
No. It is a tracking tool. Hop testing, strength testing, and clinical assessment remain important for later return decisions.
Lower pain and lower swelling usually reflect better knee response. That is why smaller values increase the final score.
Yes. The score can still organize progress. You should interpret stage labels with your rehab professional based on your treatment plan.
A short drop can happen after overload, travel, poor sleep, or harder sessions. Review symptoms, reduce stress, and recheck the next session.
No. Confidence helps, but return decisions should also include strength, movement quality, symptoms, and professional clearance.
