Objective[edit | edit source]
A series of hop tests are routinely used in the assessment for return to sports post-injury, be it an ankle sprain or anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
- Single hop test
- Triple hop test
- Crossover hop test
- 6 meter timed hop test
The hop tests measure the power and strength of the unaffected leg to the affected leg, working out a limb symmetry index (LSI)
Evidence[edit | edit source]
It is recommended that an athlete has to score >90% on the tests to have a reduced risk of reinjury or injury. Quality of take-off and landing mechanics should also be assessed, on top of quantitive scores.
