Dynamic single-leg control of the lower limb during running and related sports, such as football and field hockey, may contribute to the development and persistence of lower limb pain and injury. 1 One of the most prominent features of poor single-leg control is dynamic (or apparent) knee valgus

Load Accommodation Strategies and Movement Variability in Single-Leg Landing

PCA. 16 Our purpose was therefore to examine changes in participant-specific single-leg landing strategies and intra-individual movement variability following alterations in mechanical task demands via external load and landing height. We used the Load Accommodation Strategies Model 17 , 21 – 23 to

descending stairs, 12 , 13 single-leg squatting, 14 , 15 single-leg drop landings, 5 and single-leg vertical jumps 2 compared with those without PFP. Treatment for PFP commonly involves interventions to alter lower-extremity biomechanics either proximal or distal to the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) itself
The Role of Anthropometric Parameters on Single-Leg Balance Performance in Young Sub-Elite Soccer Players

in their analyses. For example, to determine performance asymmetry in leg stability, single-leg balance performance is evaluated. In some studies, balance performance was compared between the dominant and non-dominant leg of children, young adults, and adolescents (e.g., Leinen, Muehlbauer, & Panzer
The Development and Reliability of 4 Clinical Neurocognitive Single-Leg Hop Tests: Implications for Return to Activity Decision-Making
Nathan Millikan, Dustin R. Grooms, Brett Hoffman, and Janet E. Simon
4 new neurocognitive single-leg hop tests based on the 4 original single-leg hop tests proposed by Noyes et al 8 who incorporate measurable reaction time components that mimic sport demands and (2) determine the test–retest reliability of the new neurocognitive hop tests. Methods Design This study
Single-Leg Squat Delicacies—The Position of the Nonstance Limb is an Important Consideration
Benita Olivier, Samantha-Lynn Quinn, Natalie Benjamin, Andrew Craig Green, Jessica Chiu, and Weijie Wang
The single-leg squat task is used as a rehabilitative exercise 1 , 2 or as a screening tool 3 , 4 for the functional movement of the lower limb. The presence of pathology influences the way in which the single-leg squat is performed. On performing the single-leg squat, individuals with

alterations to balance. 2 – 11 The improper movement pattern associated with DKV is further emphasized during dynamic movements, especially in single-leg tasks when balance is incorporated into the movement, such as in single-leg landing and single-leg jumping maneuvers. 2 The most recent literature on

scores. In this sporting context, it has been suggested ( Emery, 2003 ; McKeon & Hertel, 2008 ) that the single-leg balance most accurately replicates sporting movements and may better encompass an athlete’s potential to maintain balance as opposed to bilateral (two-legged) balance. Further, as athletes

neuromuscular demands during sport activities likely exceed those required to complete the current multidimensional concussion assessment battery. 3 , 4 For example, previous work has identified that reaction time from jumping, cutting, and single-leg hop tasks do not correlate with reaction time from clinical
Prelanding Knee Kinematics and Landing Kinetics During Single-Leg and Double-Leg Landings in Male and Female Recreational Athletes

. 4 , 10 , 11 Studies have shown that single-leg landings are more likely to result in increased ACL loading than double-leg landings because of greater impact forces and decreased knee flexion angles during the landing phase. 10 – 13 In addition, some studies found that females demonstrated lower
