Those with poor performance were of a significantly older age, decreased hip abduction strength, decreased single-leg hop distance, and lower IKDC subjective scores.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clinical Relevance: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The SLST can be used to identify neuromuscular risk factors for ACL rupture. Many patients at 6 months have persistent neuromuscular deficits on SLST.
