The Non-injured Leg Can Be Used as a Reference for the Injured Leg in Single-legged Hop Tests.

Background: Single-legged hop tests are frequently used in substantiating return to sport decisions following lower extremity injury. Evidence for using the non-injured leg as a reference for the injured leg in the return to sport decision-making at the criterion-based point of return to sport following lower extremity injury is lacking.

Purpose: To compare absolute values in single-legged hop tests between the non-injured leg of athletes returning to high-impact sports after lower extremity injury and the matched leg of healthy athletes.

Pre- and postmatch hop test outcomes in soccer players returning to performance after lower extremity injury.

Background: Most soccer injuries concern the lower extremity with a higher injury rate during the second half of matches. In advising safe return to sport, hop tests are usually assessed at the point of return to sport under non-fatigued conditions. No studies exist investigating hop test outcomes before and after a match in soccer players returning to performance after lower extremity injury and non-injured teammates.

Association between Functional Performance and Return to Performance in High-Impact Sports after Lower Extremity Injury: A Systematic Review.

After lower extremity injury, only half of the injured athletes return to their pre-injury sports level. Even though functional performance tests are often used to make return to sport decisions, it is unknown whether functional performance is associated with return to performance after such injuries. The aim of this systematic review was to identify, critically appraise, and analyze studies that investigated the association of functional performance tests with return to performance after lower extremity injuries in athletes participating in high-impact sports.

TRANSLATION AND VALIDATION OF THE DUTCH INJURY PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS TO RETURN TO SPORT SCALE (I-PRRS).

Background: In facilitating and predicting successful return to sport (RTS), not only are physical factors important, but also the athlete's psychological status. No questionnaire in the Dutch language exists for measuring psychological readiness for RTS after injuries in general.

Purpose: To translate and validate the Injury-Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport scale into the Dutch language.

The effect of a 3-month prevention program on the jump-landing technique in basketball: a randomized controlled trial.

Context: In jump-landing sports, the injury mechanism that most frequently results in an injury is the jump-landing movement. Influencing the movement patterns and biomechanical predisposing factors are supposed to decrease injury occurrence.

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of a 3-mo coach-supervised jump-landing prevention program on jump-landing technique using the jump-landing scoring (JLS) system.

A 3-month jump-landing training program: a feasibility study using the RE-AIM framework.

Context: Evaluating the translatability and feasibility of an intervention program has become as important as determining the effectiveness of the intervention.

Objective: To evaluate the applicability of a 3-month jump-landing training program in basketball players, using the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) framework.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Efficacy of a 3 month training program on the jump-landing technique in jump-landing sports. Design of a cluster randomized controlled trial.

Background: With the relatively high rate of injuries to the lower extremity due to jump-landing movement patterns and the accompanied high costs, there is need for determining potential preventive programs. A program on the intervention of jump-landing technique is possibly an important preventative measure since it appeared to reduce the incidence of lower extremity injuries. In real life situations, amateur sports lack the infrastructure and funds to have a sports physician or therapist permanently supervising such a program.
