RETURN TO SPORT TESTING: The single leg hop test is just one way to determine someone's readiness to return to sport. A difference of no more than 10% between legs is recommended, and consistent performance scores across a number of hop tests (triple hop, cross-over hop and 6m timed hop) will give the clinician and athlete greater confidence that they'll make a successful return to sport without re-injury - especially in the case of ACL reconstruction. But is the distance hopped and limb symmetr

But is the distance hopped and limb symmetry the be-all-and-end-all? What about the qualit

Single leg hop for distance symmetry masks lower limb biomechanics:Time to discuss hop distance as decision criterion for return to sport after ACL reconstruction? Symmetry in performance of single leg hop distance masks important deficits in knee joint work in male athletes after ACLR. Specifically, they appear to underload their reconstructed knee during landing (while compensating at their hip) and overload their uninjured knee compared with healthy controls. ▶️Hop distance may not be the app
