The Association of Trunk and Hip Kinematic With Knee Abduction Angle During Single-Leg Landing

Objectives: Children aged 10 to 12 years often show dangerous maneuvers during landing, which include increased knee valgus, placing them at higher risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The study aimed investigate the relation trunk and hip kinematics with peak abduction angle single-leg landing among preadolescent female soccer players. Methods: Thirty-six players attended study. Participants did a static trial after that performed trials. A was applied assess kinematics. three-dimensional motion capture system analyze trunk, hip, Results: Pearson correlation coefficient demonstrated significantly positive relationship between internal rotation (r=0.361) (P=0.03) angle. Furthermore, no significant identified adduction (r=-0.102) (P=0.55), (r=0.239) (P=0.16), lateral flexion (r=0.052) (P=0.76), valgus knee. Discussion: Peak correlated weak value Future studies should consider kinematic factors related ACL injuries in combination neuromuscular control more demanding tasks.
