AI Article Synopsis
- * Results showed statistically significant trends in LESS scores and subscales over the years, with total scores decreasing and frontal/transverse scores increasing, but none of these changes were considered clinically meaningful.
- * Overall, the study concluded that there were no substantial improvements or declines in the movement quality of cadets from 2005 to 2017.
Article Abstract
Objectives: This study sought to determine if there were significant trends in lower extremity movement quality, as assessed by the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) scores and plane-specific LESS subscales, across in 12 recent cohorts of incoming USMA cadets.
Design: prospective cohort study.
Setting: United States Military Academy.
Participants: 7,591.
Main Outcome Measures: Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) scores, adjusted for sex and ACL injury history.
Results: Statistically significant inverse trends were found between total LESS score and year (p < 0.01) and sagittal plane subscale and year (p < 0.01). A statistically significant direct trend was found for the frontal/transverse plane subscale and year (p < 0.01). However, each of these trends had a small associated effect size, and none were considered clinically meaningful.
Conclusions: There were no meaningful changes in lower extremity movement quality in incoming US Military Academy cadets between 2005 and 2017.
