Summary

This study tested a new scale called SHD-LESS to see if it can detect landing asymmetry in people who had ACL reconstruction surgery. Sixty participants performed a single hop for distance while being recorded on video, and two doctors scored their landing technique. The goal is to improve return-to-sport decisions and reduce the chance of re-injury.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Landing error assessment using the SHD-LESS scale (diagnostic test)
What this could lead to: If successful, this scale could help doctors better identify who is ready to safely return to sports after ACL surgery, potentially reducing re-injury risk.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The scale is new and needs more testing before routine use.
