Screening and Functional Assessment

Design a comprehensive, time-efficient pre-season screening protocol for professional football players.

Administer and interpret the Y-Balance Test to assess dynamic balance and lower extremity asymmetry.

Assess ankle dorsiflexion range of motion using the knee-to-wall test and its relevance to injury risk.

Perform and interpret single-leg hop tests to evaluate functional power and control post-injury or during screening.

Assess the hamstring-to-quadriceps strength ratio using field-based methods and interpret its significance.

Synthesize screening results to create individualized injury risk profiles and inform targeted interventions.
