Measurement of activity limitation, jumping |
Description |
The amount of time a patient needs to hop on 1 limb a distance of 6-m as quickly as possible. |
Measurement method |
The patient stands on the uninvolved limb, with the toes on the starting line. After the examiner’s command of “Ready, set, go,” timing begins with a stopwatch accurate to 0.01 seconds. The patient hops the 6-m distance as quickly as possible with the test limb. The testing stops when the subject crosses the 6-m finish line. The patient performs 2 practice hops and performs 2 recordable hops. Testing is repeated on the involved limb. Wearing a functional knee brace is recommended for all patients postinjury or less than 1 year postsurgery. |
