The RTA (Return to Activity) test assesses whether your leg—specifically your knee—is ready for load and whether you are prepared to return to training, work, or sports.
We objectively evaluate your strength, stability, balance, and movement control using a variety of tests, comparing your results with your healthy side to precisely determine your current functional level. This includes various jump tests, maximum strength tests, and stability assessments. We also use a questionnaire to evaluate your psychological readiness to return to sports.
This way, you know exactly where you stand in your rehabilitation process and what is still needed to safely move on to the next phase.

The testing is ideal for anyone who:
want to become active again after an injury to the lower extremities
e.g., after a muscle injury, cruciate ligament tear, meniscus or knee surgery
want professional support during their rehabilitation
want an objective assessment before returning to sports
Safety: you know exactly when your knee is ready for load again
Objective results: progress becomes measurable and transparent
Targeted rehab management: your training is optimally tailored to your current performance level
Criteria-based return to sports and daily life: step by step – but safely

No, Return to Activity testing can be performed without a prescription and is a self-pay service.
Depending on the scope and performance level, an RTA test takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
After an injury or surgery—such as an ACL or meniscus tear—the road back to daily life, work, or sports is not easy. With our Return to Activity (RTA) testing, we provide targeted support on your journey—safely, individually, and based on scientific evidence.
