“…On the other hand, the clinician is able to score the individual immediately during real-time analysis, which may be more costefficient and feasible in the clinical setting. The results from the study 6 that used real-time analysis suggest that the LESS can be implemented into clinical practice for the use of identifying individuals who may be at risk for noncontact ACL or other lower-extremity injuries.…”

“…7 Despite the potential subjectivity in determining errors while assessing an individual's jump-landing biomechanics, all 3 studies 4-6 reviewed in this CAT indicated that clinicians are reliable at scoring the LESS. One study 6 reported good interrater reliability, while the other 2 studies 4,5 reported good to excellent interrater reliability. Padua et al 5 and Onate et al 4 also reported good to excellent intrarater reliability.…”

“…Although this CAT did not specifically address the validity of the LESS, it is important to highlight that this clinical tool was also found to have moderate to excellent validity. 5,6 Two of the studies 4,5 used video data analysis to record participants' LESS trials, and the third study 6 had participants perform the LESS in real time. One concern using 2-dimensional video analysis is the need to replay the LESS and score the test after the event has occurred.…”

Clinical Scenario:An individual’s movement patterns while landing from a jump can predispose him or her to lower-extremity injury, if performed improperly. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) is a clinical tool to assess jump-landing biomechanics as an individual jumps forward from a box. Improper movement patterns, which could predispose an individual to lower-extremity injuries, are scored as errors. However, because of the subjective nature of scoring errors during the task, the consistency and reliability of scoring the task are important. Since the LESS is a newer assessment tool, it is important to understand its reliability.Focused Clinical Question:Are clinicians reliable at scoring the LESS to assess jump-landing biomechanics of physically active individuals?

“…21 Whereas the LESS has been validated by comparison with 3D motion analysis, its use necessitates pausing the video several times to rate the performance, 21 which makes it more time consuming than real-time movement analysis. A real-time version of the LESS has been described 22 but has not been validated against a more quantitative motion-analysis system.…”

Context: Altered movement patterns, including increased frontal-plane knee movement and decreased sagittal-plane hip and knee movement, have been associated with several knee disorders. Nevertheless, the ability of clinicians to visually detect such altered movement patterns during high-speed athletic tasks is relatively unknown.Objective: To explore the association between visual assessment and 2-dimensional (2D) analysis of frontal-plane knee movement and sagittal-plane hip and knee movement during a jump-landing task among healthy female athletes.Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Gymnasiums of participating volleyball teams. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 39 healthy female volleyball players (age ¼ 21.0 6 5.2 years, height ¼ 172.0 6 8.6 cm, mass ¼ 64.2 6 7.2 kg) from Divisions I and II of the Israeli Volleyball Association.Main Outcome Measure(s): Frontal-plane knee movement and sagittal-plane hip and knee movement during jump landing were visually rated as good, moderate, or poor based on previously established criteria. Frontal-plane knee excursion and sagittal-plane hip and knee excursions were measured using free motion-analysis software and compared among athletes with different visual ratings of the corresponding movements.Results: Participants with different visual ratings of frontalplane knee movement displayed differences in 2D frontal-plane knee excursion (P , .01), whereas participants with different visual ratings of sagittal-plane hip and knee movement displayed differences in 2D sagittal-plane hip and knee excursions (P , .01).Conclusions: Visual ratings of frontal-plane knee movement and sagittal-plane hip and knee movement were associated with differences in the corresponding 2D hip and knee excursions. Visual rating of these movements may serve as an initial screening tool for detecting altered movement patterns during jump landings.

We sought to evaluate the sagittal plane knee joint loading patterns during a double-leg landing task among young athletes who passed or failed return-tosport (RTS) criteria following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction reconstruction (ACLR), and in uninjured athletes. Participants completed quadriceps strength testing, a hop test battery, and the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective form following medical RTS clearance.ACLR participants "passed" RTS criteria (RTS-PASS) if they met ≥90 limb symmetry (%) or score on all measures and were categorized as "failing" (RTS-FAIL) if not. All participants completed three-dimensional motion analysis testing. Sagittal plane kinematic and kinetic variables were calculated during a double-leg drop vertical jump task. Mean limb values and limb symmetry indices (LSI; %) were calculated and compared using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (for LSI) and mixed between-within ANOVA (for group × limb differences). A total of 205 participants were included, with 39 in the RTS-PASS group, 109 in the RTS-FAIL group, and 57 control groups (CTRLs). The RTS-FAIL group demonstrated lower symmetry values for peak vertical ground reaction force, peak internal knee extension moment, and peak knee flexion angle. Group × limb interactions were observed for peak vertical ground reaction force and peak internal knee extension moment. Involved limb values were reduced in the RTS-PASS and RTS-FAIL groups compared to CTRLs, while the RTS-PASS groups had lower uninvolved limb values compared to the RTS-FAIL and CTRLs.
