Single-Leg Landing Error Scoring System/ Dominant and Non-Dominant Leg, Collegiate Basketball Players *CorrespondingAbstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare SL-LESS between dominant leg and non-dominant leg. Fifteen male basketball players performed single-leg landing and were assessed by SL-LESS. The results showed that there was no significant difference of SL-LESS score between both dominant-leg and non-dominant leg. When compare each item including trunk knee and ankle, only knee valgus at initial contact was significant difference between the two conditions (p = 0.041). Additionally, there was decreased trunk flexion at initial contact, which would result in increased an injury risk. The result of this study may be useful for injury risk assessment in basketball players when landing. The data can be used for planning a training program to prevent injury.
