The classification and monitoring of individuals with early knee osteoarthritis (OA) are
important considerations for the design and evaluation of therapeutic interventions and …

Single leg squat (SLS) is a common tool used in clinical examination to set and evaluate
rehabilitation goals, but also to assess lower extremity function in active people. Objectives …

Background Although 3D motion capture is considered the “gold standard” for recording and
analyzing kinematics, 2D video analysis may be a more reasonable, inexpensive, and …

3D joint kinematics can provide important information about the quality of movements.
Optical motion capture systems (OMC) are considered the gold standard in motion analysis …

Background Lower extremity injuries are common in athletes. Valid tests to assess for risk of
injury that are easily performed during a preparticipation sports physical examination are …

The single leg squat and single leg step down are two commonly used functional tasks to
assess movement patterns. It is unknown how kinematics compare between these tasks …

Many clinical assessment protocols of the lower limb rely on the evaluation of functional
movement tests such as the single leg squat (SLS), which are often assessed visually …

Objective: To determine whether student characteristics, lower-extremity kinematics, and
strength are risk factors for sustaining lower-extremity injuries in preprofessional …

Background The single-leg squat (SLS) test is widely used in screening for musculoskeletal
injury risk. Little is known, however, of lower limb, pelvis, and trunk kinematics of SLS …

Background Functional performance tests are commonly utilized in screening for injury
prevention, evaluating for athletic injuries, and making return-to-play decisions. Two …
