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

injury. The single leg hop (SLH) for distance test requires an athlete to hop as far as possible starting and ending on 1 leg. The protocol for performing the SLH test is short and provided verbally. 11 The instructions consist of asking an athlete to stand on 1 leg with his/her great toe on the
Rehabilitation Exercises for the Gluteus Medius Muscle Segments: An Electromyography Study

Gluteus medius (GMed) activity levels have been evaluated across a range of therapeutic exercises. 1 In most cases, single-leg weight-bearing exercises show greater activity levels than non-weight-bearing exercises when measured with a single-surface electrode over the middle GMed region. 1

For example, Tsang & Hui-Chan ( 2010 ) reported that older male golfers demonstrated significantly longer
Using a Mobile Application to Assess Knee Valgus in Healthy and Post-Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Participants

Single-leg landing, single-leg hopping, and cutting tests have been widely used in evaluating knee function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). 1 , 2 It has also been found that females with ACLR showed greater knee valgus, 2 thereby predisposing them to increased risk of ACL
