Utilization of the Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation (FLEE) in Return-to-Sport Rehabilitation Protocol Following Hip Arthroscopy in Collegiate Athletes: A Case Series

Listen to this summary

This case series investigates the utility of the Functional Lower Extremity Evaluation (FLEE) in guiding return-to-sport rehabilitation protocols for collegiate athletes following hip arthroscopy. The authors aimed to determine if the FLEE could detect measurable differences in limb symmetry and provide meaningful insights for rehabilitation outcomes. Results indicated improvements in limb symmetry and successful return to competitive sports without re-injuries, suggesting the FLEE may be a valuable tool in this context, although further research is needed to confirm these findings.
