Effect of Cognitive Loading on Single-Leg Jump Landing Biomechanics of Elite Male Volleyball Players
Sima Mohammad Amoli, Peyman Aghaie Ataabadi, Amir Letafatkar, Gary B. Wilkerson, and Misagh B. Mansouri
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is common among athletes who participate in sports that require cutting movements and single-leg landings, 1 – 3 with high incidence of ACL injuries in sports such as basketball, netball, handball, and volleyball. 4 – 6 Kinematics analyses have demonstrated
Muscular Coordination of Single-Leg Hop Landing in Uninjured and Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Reconstructed Individuals
Prasanna Sritharan, Luke G. Perraton, Mario A. Munoz, Peter Pivonka, and Adam L. Bryant
. 2 Increasing the rate of postsurgery participation in sport represents a challenge to rehabilitation research and may be garnered through improvements in clinical assessment. The single-leg hop for distance is a well-studied and routinely employed task in the functional evaluation of ACLR

) testing helps to inform return to play decision making, 9 typically assessing strength, single-leg hopping ability, and self-reported function. 9 , 10 A potentially critical criteria underrepresented in RTS testing 9 , 10 is the assessment of single-leg landing mechanics. Single-leg landing mechanics
Single-Leg Balance Performance in Sub-Elite Young Soccer Players and Swimmers as a Function of Age and Sports Experience
Peter Leinen, Thomas Muehlbauer, and Stefan Panzer
performed a single-leg stance task worse than older athletes aged between 16 and 18 years, and that young athletes showed a greater right to left asymmetry in balance control than older athletes. However, while the factor age has received some attention, little attention has been directed to the question if
Differentiating Successful and Unsuccessful Single-Leg Drop Landing Performance Using Uncontrolled Manifold Analysis

to data from single-leg landing tasks—often used in the biomechanics literature to assess injury risk ( Ali et al., 2013 ; Ford et al., 2006 ; Kipp, McLean, & Palmieri-Smith, 2011 )—to examine the reciprocal compensation among musculoskeletal DOF (i.e., angular motion at the trunk, hip, knee, and
Thirty-Second Single-Leg Stance Identifies Impaired Postural Control in Children After Concussion: A Preliminary Report

decrease in accuracy of knee joint replications, 10 – 12 but others did not. 13 , 14 Since these results were based on examinations using seated open-kinetic chain knee joint replication tests, linking previous results to risk of injury is difficult. According to studies of single-leg landings after knee
Effect of Single-Leg Squat Speed and Depth on Dynamic Postural Control Under Single-Task and Dual-Task Paradigms

The single-leg squat is a common clinical assessment evaluating lower extremity musculoskeletal and dynamic postural control deficiencies. 1 – 6 Standard practice for clinically assessing single-leg squat functional and balance performance involves visually observing movement patterns throughout
Single-Leg Jump Performance Before and After Exercise in Healthy and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructed Individuals

shift toward a more symmetrical system may be an indication that a patient with ACLR may not be ready to return to high-level exercise, despite appropriate performance during rested symmetry testing. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to compare changes in performance in single-leg hop and 4-jump
