New Triple Hop Test Quality Assessment Tool

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: ACL Injury
• Interventions: Other: new triple hop test

• Registration Number: NCT04228848
• Lead Sponsor: University of Haifa

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
ACL adolescent	new triple hop test	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

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
New triple hop test score	baseline	the score ranges between 0-14. lower score represent better jumping quality.
triple hop test	baseline	measurement of jumping distance(in cm) and symmetry between legs
muscle strength	baseline	muscle strength in Newton, assessed by an hand held dynamometer.
