Data Nerds: Single Leg Hop Testing

Data Nerds is a new series that we are introducing which will be alternating weeks with our usual journal club podcast. In this series, we share cases from our clinical practice where we utilize objective testing to inform our decision making, with most attention paid to the results of the tests and interpretation of the information. Therefore, this works best when you can see the numbers. Luckily, these are uploaded to our YouTube channel! Check us out at https://www.youtube.com/@ReadingRehab.

Pat walks us through some single leg hop testing that he did with a 14 year old female volleyball player coming back from a severe inversion sprain. We go over key metrics, some confusion we have with duplicate metrics, importance of knowing the units you're referencing, and how this testing impacts clinical decision-making.
