(Figure 8) The next phase consisted of agility and sport specific drills. The criteria to progress to Phase V included the ability to demonstrate a strength LSI of quadriceps strength >80%, hop testing >85%, and a Y-Balance test composite score >85% (Appendix 1). At her 16-week assessment, the subject's Y-Balance test composite score was >95%, and her isokinetic strength testing demonstrated a quadriceps strength LSI deficit of 21%, a hamstrings strength LSI deficit of 2%, and a strength to body weight ratio of 72%. Early exercises consisted of Figure 8 cutting drills, lateral side shuffle, sprints forward and backpedaling, and ladder drills.
