Athletes in team sports have to quickly visually perceive actions of opponents and teammates while executing their own movements. These continuous actions are performed under time pressure and may contribute to a non-contact ACL injury. However, ACL injury screening and prevention programmes are primarily …

BACKGROUND: A limited number of patients return to sport (RTS) after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and patients who RTS have a relatively high risk for second ACL injury. The purpose of the current study was to compare the results of a test battery between patients who returned …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common injury among healthy young people. Landing with dynamic knee valgus (DKV) is one of the main causative factor that could lead to ACL rupture. During deceleration phase of landing the increased valgus deviation can diminish the shock absorption capacity …

A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common sports injuries worldwide, and also one of the most devastating injuries of the knee. An ACL injury happens mostly to young athletes (aged 14-40) who participate in landing, cutting and pivoting sports with fast decelerations, …

Athletes who wish to resume high-level activities after an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are often advised to undergo surgical reconstruction. Nevertheless, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) does not equate to normal function of the knee or reduced risk of subsequent injuries. In fact, recent …

BACKGROUND: Causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are multifactorial. Anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention should thus be approached from a multifactorial perspective as well. Training to resist fatigue is an underestimated aspect of prevention programs given that the presence of …

BACKGROUND: Implicit (IF) and explicit (EF) feedback are two motor learning strategies demonstrated to alter movement patterns. There is conflicting evidence on which strategy produces better outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of reduced IF and EF video feedback on lower extremity …
