The knee joint is a largest, complex synovial joint of a modified hinge variety. There are
three articulations. in the knee joint ie two between the tibial and femoral condyles and the …

Background Valgus collapse and high knee abduction moments have been identified as
biomechanical risk factors for ACL injury. It is unknown if participation in the 11+, a …

Change of direction manoeuvres is important in soccer and associated with non-contact
anterior cruciate ligament injury, yet it is not known how the mechanics differentiate between …
