# Return-to-Sport Progression AI Agent Connect

> Return-to-Sport Progression MCP gives your AI client the specialized logic needed to manage athletic rehabilitation. It handles the heavy lifting of calculating recovery timelines, checking if an athlete is ready to move to the next training phase, and identifying the specific physical tests required for different sports and recovery stages.

## Description

You can use this MCP to bring sports science precision to your AI-driven coaching or clinical workflows. Instead of guessing when an athlete is ready to return to play, you can use this tool to generate structured recovery plans based on specific injury stages. It helps you manage the transition between rehab phases by evaluating whether an athlete has met the necessary physical benchmarks. You can also use it to mitigate risk by calculating the probability of a secondary injury before an athlete returns to high-intensity activity. It takes the guesswork out of rehabilitation by providing the exact testing requirements needed for any given phase or sport, ensuring your recovery protocols stay grounded in objective data.

## Tools

### assess_reinjury_risk
This tool calculates both qualitative and quantitative risk assessments for an athlete to help prevent setbacks.

### calculate_progression_plan
This tool generates a complete, structured roadmap for an athlete's entire journey back to their sport.

### evaluate_phase_advancement
This tool determines if an athlete has met the criteria to move from their current recovery phase to the next.

### get_testing_requirements
This tool identifies the specific physical tests required for a particular recovery phase and sport.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Create a recovery plan for an ACL ligament injury in the proliferative stage for a soccer player.
```

**Response:** 
```
The recovery plan includes four phases: Protection (2 weeks), Loading (4 weeks), Strengthening (6 weeks), and Return to Performance (4 weeks), totaling 16 weeks.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a runner with a 0.8 quad strength ratio ready to advance from the Loading phase?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the runner is not ready to advance. The required quad strength ratio for this phase is 0.9.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What tests are needed for a contact sport in the Strengthening phase?
```

**Response:** 
```
Required tests include the Single Leg Hop Test and the Y-Balance Test to ensure neuromuscular control.
```

## Capabilities

### Roadmap Generation
Your agent uses this to build full, phase-based recovery schedules.

### Readiness Evaluation
Your AI client checks specific metrics to see if an athlete can advance phases.

### Risk Assessment
Your agent calculates the likelihood of a repeat injury during the recovery process.

### Test Identification
Your AI client pulls the exact physical tests needed for a specific sport and phase.

## Use Cases

### ACL Rehabilitation
Generate a multi-week recovery schedule for soccer players following ligament surgery.

### Phase Transition Checks
Verify if a runner's strength ratios meet the requirements to move out of a loading phase.

### Injury Risk Mitigation
Assess the probability of secondary injuries before clearing an athlete for contact sports.

### Protocol Standardization
Identify the exact physical tests needed for specific phases in contact-heavy sports.

## Benefits

- Replaces manual roadmap creation with structured, phase-based plans.
- Uses objective metrics to decide when an athlete moves to the next stage.
- Provides specific testing protocols for different sports and recovery phases.
- Quantifies injury risk to support safer return-to-play decisions.

## How It Works

Connect your client to Vinkius to start using these sports science tools immediately.

1. Connect your MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Provide your agent with the athlete's injury details and current phase.
3. The agent calls the specific tool needed, such as calculating a plan or checking risk.
4. Your agent receives the structured data or decision to present to you.
