Functional Movement Testing

Participants will perform a single-leg drop to evaluate knee and ankle stability. From a raised platform, participants will stand on one leg with their arms crossed across their chest and “hop off” the platform, landing on the same leg. A total of 3 “hops” will be performed on each leg, with stability assessed using the qualitative assessment of single leg loading [33]. The frontal plane projection angle will be calculated by measuring the angle between the line from the proximal thigh to the midpoint of the knee joint and the line from the knee joint to the midpoint of the ankle, at the frame corresponding to maximum knee flexion [34].
