Abstract

Double and single leg drop jump (DLDJ & SLDJ) assessments tend to be performed during the later stages of rehabilitation from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury due to the mechanical demands these assessments place on the lower limbs. Double and single leg 10-5 repetitive rebound tests (DLRJT and SLRJT) may be effective alternatives to examine lower limb mechanics at an earlier stage of rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was 1) to compare inter-limb performance and biomechanical differences within each jump test and 2) to compare biomechanical differences between the double and single leg versions of each test.
