Hop tests are frequently used to determine whether a patient can return to sports following ankle or knee injury/surgery.
For the side hop test (Gustavsson et al 2006) shown here, the person stands on one leg and hops from side to side, over 2 strips of tape placed 40cm apart. The instructions are to hop as many times as possible in 30 seconds. The number of successful hops performed, without touching the tape are recorded. This is then repeated on the other leg. To pass the test, you are looking for no more than a 10% difference in hops on either side.
Thanks to John for volunteering for our video demos once again! ... See MoreSee Less

Our next ad campaign, launching in press and on radio soon, is all about our General Surgeons.
They are some of the busiest in the Hospital as they look after a range of patient issues from endoscopy procedures (colonoscopies & gastroscopies) to hernia repairs, haemorrhoids, gall bladder issues, thyroid and parathyroid surgeries to minor surgeries related to skin lesions and skin cancers.
For more information about our General Surgeons and the surgeries they perform you can visit our website: autevenhospital.ie/consultants-by-service/general-surgery/ ... See MoreSee Less

The Single Rise Test as demonstrated by @johnfagan_pt in our Physio Gym.
John sits on a plinth (you can use a sturdy dining room chair as an alternative) with the test leg bent to 90 degrees. John aims to stand up and sit back down again, as many times as possible with hands folded across his chest. This is a great test exercise for those who have had ACL reconstruction surgery.

Culvenor et al (2016) found that those who can do 22 or more of these single rise tests had better quality of life at 1yr and 3yrs post-op ACL reconstruction compared to those that couldn't. The aim is, as well as reaching 22 repetitions, to have no more than a 10% difference in the amount of repetitions between one leg and the other. Can you do 22? ... See MoreSee Less

Here's John, four point kneeling, with a theraband around his feet. His right hip is on a block to allow his left leg to swing freely. The block forces John top stabilise his pelvis while performing the exercise.

This Hip and Knee extension exercise focuses on glute and quad activation while maintaining a neutral alignment.
The exercise activates the hip stabilisers and allows John to activate the major muscles of the lower limb in a functional movement. Many adaptations can be performed in this position however for this video John is focusing on core activation, pelvic stabilisation, glute and quadriceps extension and proprioceptive control.

John focuses on squeezing the glute muscles when his leg is fully straight.

The Physio team Aut Even Hospital Kilkenny use this exercise for people suffering from a number of pathologies such as hip, knee and groin pain, with the added benefit of challenging the deep stabilisers and core.
