Is inter-limb asymmetry in lower-limb functional performance associated with sport injury?
Due to highly inconsistent findings, clear recommendations cannot be made regarding the relationship between lower-limb functional asymmetry and sport injury.
Highly inconsistent findings make it difficult to create clear recommendations on the relationship between the inter-limb asymmetry in lower-limb functional performance (power, muscle flexibility, and dynamic balance) and sport injury. The influence of potential factors (selection of tests/parameters, participant characteristics, definition of injury, and ways of calculating asymmetry) should be considered when using previous findings.
Guan et al. (2022) studied this question.
