Objective[edit | edit source]
The landing Error scoring System (LESS) is an inexpensive clinical tool used to asses the jump-landing biomechanics. It is used to identify the risk of non-contact injuries during jumping and landing movements.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
The LESS is used to identify the risk of non-contact injuries in athletes especially involved in sports with a lot of jumping and landing. It is an useful screening tool to identify 'at-risk' athletes and then direct them towards the appropriate training programs. The LESS is also used to assist in deciding return to sport for patients that have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery (R).
