maybe some PTs or Doc's can help us with this quandary.

I'm sure those who are doing the rehab are running tests to compare right after surgery to now. Sort of like a control vs what changed.

I haven't rehabbed a knee in over 20 yrs, but I do recall having the strength of one measured against the strength of the other (good vs bad) on a computerized machine. Base readings taken off of good knee and then increasing opposing pressure applied to the bad in order to find the percent difference.

They have a machine that tests each leg individually and compares the two against each other.
Source: I had to do that after I blew my knee out.
