    Thanks for pointing that out!

    Looks like the next clinical trial in this field will have to have Rasch analysis in it as I'm guessing an editor will probably have the paper reviewed by at least one person who knows this stuff. They might even have to remove certain items from KOOS to justify the study in the future (if they keep using that).

    You can be "pre-med" and major in anything as long as you get the prereq's done. It literally means nothing. Those prereq's would not have given Tanny the acumen to diagnose his own knee injury and ensuing rehab choices.

    None of the daily activities were pro sports, I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make, and I'm not being a smart ***, lol, I was just answering your question.

    Did you read the part about the surgery knees being sturdier after 2 years?

    They specifically say this isn't applicable to pro athletes, so not sure where you and Brad are getting this idea that it is.

    You're reading that wrong Finster. In this context "not applicable" means they don't have evidence it applies to pro athletes. It does NOT mean there is evidence it does not apply to pro athletes.

    You're wrong. There is no evidence to suggest none of them placed extreme amounts of force on their knee. I'm not a pro-athlete, but I do many sports related activities that I assure you puts the same if not more stress on my knees than RT.

    And once again, no one here knows if his current injury was new or an exacerbation of his old injury. If it was the former then surgery would not have helped. If it was the latter surgery MAY have helped. Even with surgery he may have still been injured.

    This "side" discussion isn't about RT directly, it's about the relevance of a test done with avg joes to pro athletes, that Brad brought into the discussion, so lets keep RT to the side on this "side" subject.

    I'm not trying to start anything here, or be a wise ***, or anything like that, but in all honesty I think it's very naive to think that you put equal or more stress on your knee than a professional athlete.

    He spends most of his time working out in one way or another, probably over 40 hours a week, how many hours a day are you working out? without getting into whatever it is that you're doing that may equal 300lb supermen hitting you.

    Whatever the test subject are doing, it ain't that brother, again, I'm not sure where the disconnect is here, but this stuff should be pretty obvious, just saying.

    Interesting article about ACL injuries and how NFL players face uncertainty coming back, even suggesting a shortened career:

    http://m.startribune.com/athletes-recover-from-acl-injuries-eventually/391891671/

    I'm more concerned with Raekwon's recovery and comeback than I am with Tannehill, mostly because of their positional difference and contact.

    Lol... No one besides doped up pro body builders are working out 8 hours per day. I'm not sure where you got that from, but it's pretty funny. A few types of athletes, such as boxers/mma fighters, will do a few hours of cardio in the morning and a few hours at night on top of their training. But if you consider jogging and or cycling a lot more stress on an ACL than what your normal person may do you must be pretty sedentary. Lol

    Depending on the season I play rugby, slalom water and snow ski, snowboard, wakeboard, and lift weights. I am not in "pro athlete" shape, but I promise you I put my knees through as much stress as RT. Not to mention when I was in the Marine Corps doing very grueling exercises and training.

    Yup.. invid posted that in post #33 (I know.. hard to keep up with everything haha). I looked over the paper and picked out the stuff I thought was relevant in post #36.

    And yeah totally sucks with Raekwon.

    My bad, sorry invid! I was reading through some other threads and got distracted while glancing over this.

    Yeah man, I was really, really bummed out with Raekwon. Hopefully, both of them come back next year ready to roll.

    I'm not sure what you think pro athletes do, but if you think you work out as much as RT, I can't argue with you.

    I know what they do. I'm not sure if you think the movie "Rocky" is real life or what, but working out for "40hrs per week" will net a person no gains and instead cause injury, sickness, and disease. During the season an NFL player lifts weights about 5 hours per week and practices on the field about another 10 hours. Physical activity (unless a player is rehabbing an injury) is limited to about 15 hours per week (Not including the game) and this includes standing around on the sideline. During the offseason most athletes will throw in a little more cardio along with lifting...if they're disciplined. The overwhelming majority of an NFL player's day is spent in the classroom and meetings.

    In comparison I get up at 5am and either lift weights or do cardio for an hour to an hour and a half. I do this Monday through Friday with the occasional day off. That's 5-8 hours every week. And again, depending on the season, I do sporting activities on a lot of weekends and sometimes after work. Albeit I haven't followed this weekend/after work regiment recently due to the birth of a new baby.
