Altered movement during single leg hop test after ACL reconstruction: implications to incorporate 2-D video movement analysis for hop tests

摘要

Purpose There is a lack of objective factors which can be used in guiding the return to sport (RTS) decision after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The purpose of the current study was to conduct qualitative analysis of the single leg hop (SLH) in patients after ACLR with a simple and clinical friendly method and to compare the possible difference in movement pattern between male and female patients.
