Clinical Trial 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.

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.
