J Sci Med Sport 2011;14(1):90-92. The SEBT has strong intrarater and inter-rater reliability and is sensitive for the detection of functional deficits associated with chronic ankle instability (CAI).6-8 These deficits include postural control and self-reported functional limitations.9 The SEBT was originally created with eight components to assess post… 26. When they feel they are about to fall, they will bring both feet off the box at the same time, dropping downward, landing with both feet, and immediately performing a maximum vertical jump with both arms extended overhead. The effects of fatigue and chronic ankle instability on dynamic postural control. The most basic assessment would seem to be looking at side-to-side symmetry – an asymmetry of 10-15% seems to be a red flag for injury risk. The four selected tests include the single-leg anterior reach (SLAR), single-leg hop for distance (SLHOP), the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS), and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) assessment.

Each participant will perform three trials for each leg, alternating limbs while testing.

Scoring is normalized to limb length (anterior superior iliac spine to medial malleolus). Video analysis of trunk and knee motion during non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury in female athletes: lateral trunk and knee abduction motion are combined components of the injury mechanism. tilting is of the foot, not the ankle tests calcaneotibular, AFT, PFT, and deltoid ligaments. Knees/Ankles/Hips: Duck walk and squat (note any difficulty or asymmetry), inspection (note any scars, atrophy of the vastus medialis obliquus muscle, or effusion), test for anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and collateral ligamentous laxity at 30 degrees of flexion, and screen for patellar apprehension. If the individual can maintain heel contact with the floor and knee contact with the wall, ask him or her to move the foot back 1 cm at a time until heel or knee contact cannot be maintained. J Athl Train 2012;47(1):32-41. Scoring is normalized to limb length (anterior superior iliac spine to medial malleolus). 37. Hop tests as predictors of dynamic knee stability. The modified double-limb tests were not sensitive enough to detect limb differences or differences between the healthy controls and ACL-reconstructed athletes. check for tear in posterior portion of medial meniscus, test for anterior talofibular ligament.
Phys Ther 1988;68(2):214-218. The LESS-impression (iLESS)36 is a further advancement of the LESS-RT, but has a simplified scoring system that allows for immediate clinician grading with minimal training. 17. The weight-bearing lunge test is a practical and reliable test for assessing ankle dorsiflexion mobility in the clinical setting.37,38 This closed chain assessment of ankle dorsiflexion ROM is a quicker, more reliable, and externally generalizable measure of ankle mobility than goniometric or open chain methods.39-41 Individuals with restricted ankle dorsiflexion may be at a higher injury risk for lateral ankle sprains or lower extremity musculoskeletal overuse injuries.42,43 Decreased ankle mobility can be a sign of previous joint injury or present instability.44,45.

The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Is a valid and reliable clinical assessment tool of jump-landing biomechanics: The JUMP-ACL study. Hoch MC, Staton GS, Medina McKeon JM, et al. An awesome article. Reliability of three measures of ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. Reliability of goniometric measurements and visual estimates of ankle joint active range of motion obtained in a clinical setting. The single-leg hop tests, however, differentiated between the groups and between the limbs of the athletes with ACL reconstruction, with moderate to large effect sizes.18 These findings indicate that isolation of single-leg performance during functional assessments should be used to identify deficits. Schmitz RJ, Shultz SJ, Nguyen AD. Interesting question posed by Mr. Huck – currently the assumption is asymmetries of 10-15% are abnormal and possibly problematic- but we must wait until the data shows this to be true or not. Each individual will stand on top of the box and lean forward. There are several ways to assess ankle dorsiflexion, including electric goniometers,46 rulers,47 visual estimation,48 as well as the inclinometer and universal goniometer. Chaudhari AM, Andriacchi TP. 9. The SLAR is adapted from the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). This void represents an opportunity for practitioners to improve the use of the PPE for evaluating prospective injury risk and developing personalized prevention programs to mitigate musculoskeletal injury occurrence. Basnett CR, Hanish MJ, Wheeler TJ, et al. The LESS is a clinical assessment tool used to analyze jump-landing mechanics using standard video cameras recording frontal and sagittal views.

Int J Sports Phys Ther 2012;7(3):279-287. The individual will then hop forward on the stance leg, as far as possible, along the measurement line and land on the same stance leg (Figure 2). 28. 30.

Maintaining a single-leg stance, he or she reaches with the free limb and pushes the reach indicator forward as far as possible (Figure 1B). Ask the participant to stand facing the wall, a few inches away, with shoes off and hands on the wall for balance, with the arms bent slightly. Int J Sports Phys Ther 2013;8(2):121-128. Padua and colleagues have verified that inter-rater reliability for the LESS-RT against the 3D biomechanically validated LESS is good, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC2,1) ranging from .72 to .81.35.

To assess ankle dorsiflexion ROM, attach a tape measure to the floor perpendicular to a wall. Plisky PJ, Rauh MJ, Kaminski TW, Underwood FB. The LESS allows clinicians to identify multiple high-risk movement patterns for knee injuries, specifically noncontact ACL injury and patellofemoral pain.19-21 High-risk movement patterns include increased knee valgus angles,22-26 decreased knee flexion position,27-30 increased internal rotation moments,31,32 and minimal plantar flexed positions33,34 during jump landing. Nearly 35 years ago, the American Medical Association’s Committee on Medical Aspects of Sports recognized the importance of the PPE and recommended completion of a PPE prior to athletic participation.1 The National Federation of State High School Associations considers the PPE a prerequisite to athletics participation, yet its implementation at the secondary school level varies, with a majority of states requiring a yearly examination.2.

Grindem H, Logerstedt D, Eitzen I, et al. 19. As this assessment is designed for a PPE environment, a positive finding would indicate further exam is needed to determine what specific factors may exist (motor control, strength, mobility, etc) and to prescribe preventive treatment.
