Summary

What it measures:

Single-limb hopping is part of a test battery comprised of tests for different aspects of muscle-tendon function (maximal strength, power, and endurance) of the gastrocnemius, soleus, and Achilles tendon complex (Silbernagel et al, 2006 and 2007). The test battery consisted of 6 tests: 1.Counter movement jump (CMJ) 2. Drop CMJ 3. Single-limb hopping 4. Concentric toe raise 5. Eccentric–concentric toe raise 6. Standing toe-raise test. The test battery has been shown to be reliable and valid for examination of lower leg function in patients with Achilles tendinopathy. (Silbernagel et al, 2006 and 2007)

Target Population:

People with Achilles tendinopathy
