In soccer one of the most common knee injuries is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear,
which usually occurs through non-contact mechanisms. Female soccer players are at higher …

Objective: To examine and summarize previous retrospective and observational studies
assessing noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury mechanisms and to examine …

The incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries in young to middle-aged
athletes remains high. Despite early diagnosis and appropriate operative and nonoperative …

The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury remains high in young athletes.
Because female athletes have a much higher incidence of ACL injuries in sports such as …

BACKGROUND: Literature shows that landing with great impact forces may be a risk factor
for knee injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among selected …

The effects of fiber alignment and direction of mechanical stimuli on the ECM generation of
human ligament fibroblast (HLF) were assessed. The nanofiber matrix was fabricated using …

Background Biomechanical analysis of stop-jump tasks has demonstrated gender
differences during landing and a potential increase in risk of noncontact anterior cruciate …

Background. Knee joint sagittal plane forces are a proposed mechanism of anterior cruciate
ligament injury during sport movements such as sidestep cutting. Ligament force …

Primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs effectively reduce ACL
injury risk in the short term. Despite these programs, ACL injury incidence is still high …

Background: Performance measures such as strength, jump height/length, and change of
