The Effect of Exercise on the Biomechanical Determinants of Knee Energy Absorption during Single-leg Jump-cuts

Creator:

Pollard, Anne E.

Abstract:

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common in a wide variety of sports and most frequently occur during activities requiring rapid deceleration such as landing and cutting. Deceleration of the body's center of mass during movement results primarily from eccentric muscle contraction. This type of contraction serves to absorb energy from...

Evaluating the Usefulness of a Functional Test Battery for Determining Return to Full Activity in Females with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Creator:
