Tibial pilon fractures are challenging to treat, as they are typically intra-articular and
associated with extensive soft tissue damage. We briefly review the anatomy of the distal …

Background It has been proposed that the performance of athletic tasks where normal
motion is exceeded has the potential to damage the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) …

Background Single-leg landing (SL) is an essential technique in sports such as basketball,
soccer, and volleyball, which is often associated with a high risk of knee-related injury. The …

The aim of this study was to identify the contribution of the Soleus and Gastrocnemius
(Gastroc) muscles' forces to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) loading during single-leg …

Landing manoeuvres are an integral task for humans, especially in the context of sporting
activities. Such tasks often involve landing on one leg which requires the coordination of …

Study Design Cross-sectional study. Objectives To compare the biomechanical strategies of
the trunk and lower extremity during the transition period between the first and second hop …

BACKGROUND: Though the first landing of drop vertical jump task is commonly used to
assess biomechanical performance measures that are associated with anterior cruciate …

The biomechanical difference between the dominant and non-dominant limb has seldom
been studied during double-leg landing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the …

Understanding the mechanics behind knee joint injuries and providing appropriate
treatment is crucial for improving physical function, quality of life, and employability. In this …

Purpose This study identified kinematic and knee energetic variables that reduce the risk of
non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during single-leg landings from …
