Reference values for fatigued versus non-fatigued limb symmetry index measured by a newly designed single-leg hop test battery in healthy subjects: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

There is sparse evidence for return to sport criteria after knee injury. Functional performance deficits, particularly in fatigued muscular condition, should be verified prior to the attempt to return to high-risk pivoting sports. The purpose of this study was to generate reference values for the limb symmetry index (LSI) of healthy subjects in fatigued and non-fatigued muscular condition in a newly designed test battery.

Methods

Forty-two healthy subjects [22 females, 20 males; mean (SD) age 30.4 (6.6) years] were evaluated using a test battery consisting of an isometric strength test, a series of five single-leg hop tests and an integrated fatigue protocol. Subjective physical activity was assessed with the Tegner Activity Scale (TAS). The cut-off values for health
