【 摘 要 】

Rugby requires unique demands from its players. Those involved in rehabilitation and care of these athletes must possess an understanding of both the game and various positions. There have been numerous reports focusing on the physiological demands and biomechanical analyses of various components of gameplay, but no specific progression has been developed to assist clinicians assessing the readiness to return of a player after injury. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to outline testing components, general gameplay guidelines, movement progressions, and sport and position-specific progressions related to rugby gameplay following a lower extremity injury.
