Q-angle represents the resultant force vector of the quadriceps and patellar tendons acting
on the patella. An increased Q-angle has been considered a risk factor for many disorders …

Context: Does lower baseline cognitive function predispose athletes to ACL injury risk,
especially when performing unplanned or dual-task movements? Objective: To evaluate the …

Visual cognitive ability has previously been associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury
and injury risk biomechanics in healthy athletes. Neuroimaging reports have identified …

Background: Collegiate athletes with prior sports-related concussion (SRC) are at increased
risk for lower extremity (LE) injuries; however, the biomechanical and cognitive mechanisms …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk reduction strategies primarily focus on
biomechanical factors related to frontal plane knee motion and loading. Although central …

Research of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk aims to identify
modifiable risk factors that are linked to the mechanisms of injury. Information from these …

Failed jump landings represent a key mechanism of musculoskeletal trauma. It has been
speculated that cognitive dual-task loading during the flight phase may moderate the injury …

Background The etiology of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in women football
results from the interaction of several extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors. Extrinsic factors …

Background: While a large number of studies have investigated the anatomic, hormonal,
and biomechanical risk factors related to musculoskeletal (MSK) injury risk, there is growing …

Variation during practice is widely accepted to be advantageous for motor learning and is,
therefore, a valuable strategy to effectively reduce high-risk landing mechanics and prevent …
