Individuals with an anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee classified as noncopers may be candidates for nonsurgical rehabilitation.
Prospective cohort study. ⋯ A majority (70%) of subjects classified as potential noncopers were true copers after 1 year of nonoperative treatment. Individuals with nonoperative treatment and ACL reconstruction showed excellent knee function and were highly active at the 1 year follow-up. The prognostic accuracy of this screening examination for correctly classifying true copers was poor.
