The Drop Hop Test assesses single-leg reactive power and landing control after dropping from a height. It can help monitor unilateral plyometric readiness and side-to-side performance.
Introduction
Bilateral drop jumps can hide limb differences. The Drop Hop Test increases demand by requiring the ...
The Broad Jump Test measures horizontal lower-body power by recording how far a client can jump from a standing start. It is useful for assessing explosive power and tracking training progress.
Introduction
Some athletes need horizontal power more than vertical power. The Broad Jump Test gives pro...
The 90° Medial Rotation Hop Test assesses single-leg hop performance with a rotational landing demand. It is useful for assessing side-to-side control, landing quality, confidence and lower-limb power in a more sport-relevant direction than straight-line hopping alone. The result should be interpret...
The Side Hop Test measures repeated single-leg lateral hopping ability. It is useful for assessing lateral power, agility, endurance and asymmetry.
Introduction
A client may be able to perform one lateral hop well, but repeated side-to-side hopping reveals how they manage rhythm, fatigue and contr...
The Anterior Hop Test measures single-leg forward hop distance and landing control. It is useful for assessing lower-limb power, side-to-side performance and confidence during a simple horizontal hop task. The result should be interpreted with movement quality, pain, strength and related functional ...
The Medial Hop Test assesses single-leg power and control while hopping toward the midline. It is useful for monitoring lateral-plane lower-limb function and side-to-side differences.
Introduction
Many injuries and sport tasks challenge the body in the frontal plane. A forward hop may look strong,...
The Lateral Hop Test assesses single-leg hop performance away from the body’s midline. It is useful for monitoring lateral power, landing control and side-to-side differences.
Introduction
A client may perform well in forward hopping but struggle to control lateral movement. The Lateral Hop Test p...
The Triple Hop Test measures single-leg horizontal power and repeated hop control across three consecutive hops. It is commonly used in lower-limb rehabilitation and performance testing.
Introduction
One good hop does not always mean a client can repeat force production safely. The Triple Hop Test...
The Medial Triple Hop Test assesses repeated single-leg hopping toward the midline. It measures frontal-plane power, dynamic balance and landing control across three consecutive hops.
Introduction
A client may perform well in forward power tests but lose control when moving medially. The Medial Tr...
The Crossover Hop Test assesses single-leg power, balance and neuromuscular control while hopping repeatedly across a line. It is often used as part of lower-limb functional testing after injury.
Introduction
A client may hop forward well but struggle when asked to cross their body line repeatedly...
The 6 m Timed Hop Test measures how quickly a client can hop 6 metres on one leg. It assesses lower-limb power, rhythm, speed, confidence and fatigue tolerance.
Introduction
Distance hop tests show how far a client can hop, but they do not always show how quickly they can repeat hops. The 6 m Time...
The Upper Extremity Functional Index, or UEFI, is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess upper limb function across shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand presentations. The original version includes 20 items scored from 0 to 4, producing a total score from 0 to 80, where higher scores indicate ...
