Arm Description

Each participants will be asked to perform triple hop test on a straight line and to stand stable at the end of the jump. Two jumps will be performed on each leg, with 1 minute rest between them. The jumps will be recorded via video. Legs muscle strength will be assessed using hand held dynamometer

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

New triple hop test score
the score ranges between 0-14. lower score represent better jumping quality.
triple hop test
measurement of jumping distance(in cm) and symmetry between legs
muscle strength

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will develop a new jump assessment tool for the Triple Hop Test, and will test its reliability on adolescent and adult, healthy and post- anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) population. Creating a new assessment test for a jump test that incorporates the known movement components that are important after an ACL injury can improve patient evaluation, decision for return to sport activity and injury prevention.
Detailed Description
Study population- Adults, women and men aged 20-45, boys and girls aged 12-15. uninjured population: non symptomatic subjects, without major injury in their history. Injured population: ACL injured subjects, 9-12 month after beginning of treatment/surgery. Stages of study: stage 1- The investigators will create a new high-quality literature-based assessment test for the triple hop test (NTHT). The test will have 10 sections, its score ranges from 0 to 14 points and a high score means poor performance. Stage 2- Performing reliability tests between and within the testers for NTHT. The tests will be done with the help of video photography of NTHT. Stage 3- Performing NTHT and THT tests on healthy adult and adolescent subjects and on ACL adult and adolescent subjects, assessing the NTHT by watching video performance.
