Thus, a new hop test with potential for identifying knee dysfunction in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL -injured populACL -injuredsented.
The purposes of this study were to determine whether a lateral hop test was a more sensitive functional test over time than a forward hop test in assessing lateral ankle sprains, and whether lateral hop performance can predict a subjective score from an ankle rating scale.
Main outcome measures: Knee rating scores, raw performance scores for the 6 m timed hop, cross over hop, stair hop and vertical hop, and hop test limb symmetry indices (LSI) were compared on two testing occasions, performed one week apart.
c Vertical hop test and kinetics graph.
The kinetic protocol included gait analysis, sprint and hop tests (single-leg hop test, drop vertical jump and vertical hop test) (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4) [17].
This hop test will, therefore, be a major milestone for Starship's development, and proof that it is very much real.
The base section (right) will fly in the hop test after the nose cone (left) was damaged by wind.
The single-leg hop test for distance was performed as previously described [18].
Vertical hop test parameters included (Fig. 2c) impulse MVF, hop time and fallen MVF.
Parameters obtained from the single-leg hop test included (Fig. 2a) hop time, MVF and CT.
