Lack of control of the lower extremity or trunk during single leg tasks is often associated with pathomechanic adaptations during the pitching motion which may increase the risk of pain and injury to the upper extremity. The objective of the study was to determine the amount of variability in stride knee mechanics accounted for by compensations during a common movement assessment, the single leg squat (SLS) to establish the usefulness of SLS as a screening tool for at-risk athletes.
