About

This study aimed to evaluate the association between the isokinetic knee strength and/or proprioception performance with the functional performance on the functional Hop-tests and Y-balance test.

This study included 20 healthy individuals who performed an isokinetic assessment of knee proprioception (joint position sense, JPS and threshold to detection of passive motion, TDPM) and flexors/extensors strength. At the same time, they performed a functional testing consisting of three Hop-tests (single, triple and cross-over) and the Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ). We tested the correlation between the isokinetic and functional performances, and limb symmetry indexes.
