It proved success ful with the highly motivated cadets who were required to participate in athletic activities, and it has been useful as a therapeutic regimen for a more hetero geneous population at a medical center. The program is used to evaluate knees diagnostically, to provide a conservative treatment regimen, and to ensure maxi mum functional return after surgery. With this composite facsimile of agility drills, confidence can be bolstered and re- injuries decreased.
