Why Jump Asymmetry Is the Strongest Predictor of Injury Risk: The Science of Asymmetry via 800Hz IMU

Jump asymmetry outpredicts every other test for ACL and hamstring injury. Twelve studies and 800Hz IMU data show why balance testing alone falls short.

Jump Asymmetry and Injury Prediction: Research Review

An 11-study meta-analysis found limb symmetry under 90% on hop tests raised injury odds 2.4x. Thresholds, test choice, return-to-sport cutoffs inside.
