Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the inter/intra rater reliability as well as the validity of the Swing Test in asymptomatic adults . In addition, this study will examine if there are musculoskeletal predictors to the movement quality of the swing test. The Swing Test is a movement test used by physical therapists to identify movement problems during a simulated running stride

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Swing Test

  The subject will then be instructed to step onto a six inch box and asked to swing one leg forwards and backwards mimicking their running stride. After ten practice repetitions, ten repetitions will be recorded by the Vicon Motion Analysis System and 2 video cameras capturing different views. Three to five licensed physical therapists of varying levels of experience will be asked to watch the video recordings of the subject performing the swing test and rate their performance using a newly developed scoring system.

  10-15 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Hip extension ROM

  5 minutes

• Thomas Test

• Hip strength

  5 minutes

• Navicular drop

  5 minutes

• Sorensen Test

  5 minutes
