In vivo Knee Kinematics and Cartilage Recovery of Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
<p>Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common knee injuries. Unfortunately, the prevention programs have not significantly reduced these traumatic injuries, and debilitating repercussions (i.e. pain, meniscal degeneration, post-traumatic osteoarthritis) occur even after …

Towards an algorithm for the prediction of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injuries
Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee is one of the most frequently injured ligaments in the body. 70% of ACL injuries are sustained without any direct contact to the knee, during the early stance phase of a rapid deceleration movement. Females have a significantly greater …

The Effect of Injury Prevention Training Programs on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Team Sport Athletes
… training programs are effective at reducing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. A secondary purpose was to identify and describe some common barriers to implementation for these training programs. Data Sources: We used the keywords "anterior cruciate ligament," "injury," and …

Whole genome sequencing approach to identifying genetic risk factors underlying anterior cruciate ligament injuries in a twin family study
… published South African and Polish data. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture group included individuals diagnosed with a clinical diagnosis of an ACL rupture based on physical examination, and confirmed by either magnetic resonance imaging or arthroscopy. Only ACL ruptures resulting …

Influence of Externally Applied Moments and Loads on Knee Kinematics: A Cadaveric Study of Single- and Multi-Axis Loading of the Knee
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are severe sports injuries which tend to occur in younger populations. These injuries are quite prevalent, affecting 1 in 3000 Americans. Studies have shown female athletes are two-to-eight times more susceptible to ACL injuries than their male counterparts. ACL …

Inverse Dynamic Analysis of ACL Reconstructed Knee Joint Biomechanics During Gait and Cycling Using OpenSim
<p>ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries of the knee joint alter biomechanics and may cause abnormal loading conditions that place patients at a higher risk of developing osteoarthritis (OA). There are multiple types of ACL reconstruction (ACLR), but all types aim to restore anterior tibial …

Analysis of lower limb injury prevention programmes in relation to hamstring and anterior cruciate ligament risk factors in team sport athletes
Hamstring and anterior cruciate ligament injuries are, respectively, the most prevalent and serious non-contact occurring injuries in team sports. Several biomechanical and neuromuscular risk factors have been suggested to be associated with these injuries. Consequently, preventative programmes …
