Since decades leg dominance is suggested to be important in rehabilitation and return to play in athletes with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. However, an ideal method to determine leg dominance in relation to task performance is still lacking.
To test the agreement between self-reported and observed leg dominance in bilateral mobilizing and unilateral stabilizing tasks, and to assess whether the dominant leg switches between bilateral mobilizing tasks and unilateral stabilizing tasks.
Cross-sectional study.
Forty-one healthy adults: 21 men aged 36 ± 17 years old and 20 women aged 36 ±15 years old.
Participants self-reported leg dominance in the Waterloo Footedness Questionnaire-Revised (WFQ-R), and leg dominance was observed during performance of four bilateral mobilizing tasks and two unilateral stabilizing tasks. Descriptive statistics and crosstabs were used to report the percentages of agreement.
The leg used to kick a ball had 100% agreement between the self-reported and observed dominant leg for both men and women. The dominant leg in kicking a ball and standing on one leg was the same in 66.7% of the men and 85.0% of the women. The agreement with jumping with one leg was lower: 47.6% for men and 70.0% for women.
It is appropriate to ask healthy adults: "If you would shoot a ball on a target, which leg would you use to shoot the ball?" to determine leg dominance in bilateral mobilizing tasks. However, a considerable number of the participants switched the dominant leg in a unilateral stabilizing task.
几十年来，人们一直认为腿的优势在前交叉韧带损伤运动员的康复和重返赛场中很重要。然而，目前仍缺乏一种理想的方法来确定与任务表现相关的腿优势。
测试在双侧移动任务和单侧稳定任务中自我报告的腿优势与观察到的腿优势之间的一致性，并评估优势腿在双侧移动任务和单侧稳定任务之间是否会发生切换。
横断面研究。
41名健康成年人，其中21名男性，年龄36±17岁；20名女性，年龄36±15岁。
参与者在修订版滑铁卢足用度问卷（WFQ-R）中自我报告腿优势，并在执行四项双侧移动任务和两项单侧稳定任务时观察腿优势。使用描述性统计和交叉表报告一致性百分比。
对于男性和女性，用于踢球的腿在自我报告的优势腿和观察到的优势腿之间的一致性均为100%。66.7%的男性和85.0%的女性在踢球和单腿站立时的优势腿相同。单腿跳跃的一致性较低，男性为47.6%，女性为70.0%。
询问健康成年人“如果你要向目标射门，你会用哪条腿射门？”以确定双侧移动任务中的腿优势是合适的。然而，相当数量的参与者在单侧稳定任务中切换了优势腿。
