Single Leg PressClinical

A leg press performed one leg at a time to isolate and load each limb independently.

The single leg press is a unilateral variant of the standard leg press machine, used to load and assess strength of one lower limb at a time. It is commonly used in rehab and return-to-sport testing to compare force or load capacity between injured and uninjured limbs (e.g. limb symmetry index), though testing protocols (seat angle, range of motion, load progression) vary between clinics and studies, limiting direct comparability.
