Changing sidestep cutting technique reduces knee valgus loading.
BACKGROUND Common lower limb postures have been found when noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur during sidestep cutting tasks. These same postures have been linked to knee loadings known to stress the ACL. HYPOTHESIS Whole body technique modification would reduce knee loading. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Experienced team sport athletes were recr...
متن کاملSidestep cutting technique and knee abduction loading: implications for ACL prevention exercises.
BACKGROUND Sidestep cutting technique is essential in programmes to prevent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. A better understanding of how technique affects potentially harmful joint loading may improve prevention programmes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sidestep cutting technique on maximum knee abduction moments. METHODS Cross-sectional study. Whole-bod...

Technique and knee loads in sidestep cutting 2 Abstract Purpose: To identify the effect of modifying sidestep cutting technique on knee loads and predict what impact such change would have on the risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. Methods: A force platform and motion analysis system were used to r...
متن کاملSimultaneous Bilateral Knee Valgus Stress Radiographic Technique
The medial collateral ligament is the most commonly injured knee ligament. Valgus stress radiographs are reported to be an effective way to quantify the medial compartment opening. However, most of the techniques require the presence of a physician in the radiograph room to apply a manual valgus stress force, and can only be performed in 1 knee at a time. These techniques, although extremely ef...
متن کاملNeuromuscular reflexes contribute to knee stiffness during valgus loading.
We have previously shown that abduction angular perturbations applied to the knee consistently elicit reflex responses in knee joint musculature. Although a stabilizing role for such reflexes is widely proposed, there are as of yet no studies quantifying the contribution of these reflex responses to joint stiffness. In this study, we estimate the mechanical contributions of muscle contractions ...
