TI  - Reliability of the landing error scoring system-real time, a clinical assessment 
      tool of jump-landing biomechanics.
PG  - 145-56
AB  - CONTEXT: There is a need for reliable clinical assessment tools that can be used 
      to identify individuals who may be at risk for injury. The Landing Error Scoring 
      System (LESS) is a reliable and valid clinical assessment tool that was developed 
      to identify individuals at risk for lower extremity injuries. One limitation of 
      this tool is that it cannot be assessed in real time and requires the use of 
      video cameras. OBJECTIVE: To determine the interrater reliability of a real-time 
      version of the LESS, the LESS-RT. DESIGN: Reliability study. SETTING: Controlled 
      research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: 43 healthy volunteers (24 women, 19 men) 
      between the ages of 18 and 23. INTERVENTION: The LESS-RT evaluates 10 
      jump-landing characteristics that may predispose an individual to lower extremity 
      injuries. Two sets of raters used the LESS-RT to evaluate participants as they 
      performed 4 trials of a jump-landing task. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Intraclass 
      correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) values for the final composite score of the 
      LESS-RT were calculated to assess interrater reliability of the LESS-RT. RESULTS: 
      Interrater reliability (ICC2,1) for the LESS-RT ranged from .72 to .81 with 
      standard error of measurements ranging from .69 to .79. CONCLUSIONS: The LESS-RT 
      is a quick, easy, and reliable clinical assessment tool that may be used by 
      clinicians to identify individuals who may be at risk for lower extremity 
      injuries.
