Return-to-play processes

Return to Play with Confidence, with Kinvent Solution

Objective RTP Monitoring That Bridges Rehab and Performance

In today’s high-stakes sports environment, return-to-play (RTP) decisions can make or break seasons—and careers. As a strength and conditioning professional, your role in guiding athletes safely back to full performance is critical.

With Kinvent’s connected sensor technology, you gain the tools to make every RTP decision objective, measurable, and performance-driven.

The Most Efficient RTP Protocol: Evidence-Based. Athlete-Specific. Data-Rich.

The era of greenlighting an athlete based solely on time or subjective feedback is over. A complete RTP strategy now demands:

Objective strength benchmarks
Power and asymmetry profiling
Neuromuscular readiness testing
Progressive workload management
Clear, data-backed thresholds for return

Kinvent makes it all possible—helping you validate readiness, reduce re-injury risk, and return athletes with confidence.

Return to Play Processes Made Easy

How Kinvent Supports Every Phase of the RTP Journey

Phase 1: Early Functional Testing

From the first post-injury assessment to the final performance tests, Kinvent provides real-time metrics and actionable insights at each stage:

Use dynamometers to assess isolated muscle strength
Monitor pain-free load tolerance
Track EMG patterns to evaluate neuromuscular reactivation

Phase 2: Controlled Strength & Power Restoration

Quantify improvements in unilateral and bilateral force production
Compare to pre-injury baselines or contralateral limb
Use force plates to assess concentric/eccentric control and jump mechanics

Phase 3: Return to High-Performance Training

Run performance profiling for explosive power and balance
Measure fatigue responses and load adaptation
Use real-time feedback to guide final sports-specific conditioning

Phase 4: Clearance & Return to Competition

Validate recovery with objective criteria
Generate exportable reports for coaches, medical staff, and athletes
Set new training benchmarks for post-return development

Why Strength & Conditioning Coaches Trust Kinvent for RTP

Objective Criteria Over Guesswork – Set quantifiable recovery goals
Real-Time Athlete Feedback – Boost engagement and intent during sessions
Data Comparisons – Injury vs. non-injury side, or to normative data
Custom Test Batteries – Tailor protocols to sport, injury, and position
