New Triple Hop Test Quality Assessment Tool

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.

About this study

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.

Treatment and study plan

new triple hop test

Other

New jumping assessment will be performed in all included study groups. This new assessment includes quality evaluation.

Primary outcomes

  1. New triple hop test score

    Time frame: baseline

    the score ranges between 0-14. lower score represent better jumping quality.

  2. triple hop test

    Time frame: baseline

    measurement of jumping distance(in cm) and symmetry between legs

  3. muscle strength

    Time frame: baseline

    muscle strength in Newton, assessed by an hand held dynamometer.
