A prospective evaluation of the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) as a screening tool for anterior cruciate ligament injury risk.
BACKGROUND Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are immediately disabling, costly, take a significant amount of time to rehabilitate, and are associated with an increased risk of developing posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the knee. Specific multiplanar movement patterns of the lower extremity, such as those associated with the drop vertical jump (DVJ) test, have been shown to be associated...
متن کاملEvaluation of a two dimensional analysis method as a screening and evaluation tool for anterior cruciate ligament injury.
BACKGROUND Increased knee valgus predicts the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, particularly in women. Reducing injury rates thus relies on detecting and continually evaluating people with relatively large valgus motions. OBJECTIVES To examine the potential of a two dimensional (2D) video analysis method for screening for excessive valgus. METHODS Ten female and 10 male Natio...
متن کاملEffect of Functional Fatigue on Landing Mechanics using Landing Error Scoring System (LESS)
One of the factors affecting jump-landing patterns is fatigue. Fatigue is an inevitable component of physical activity, hence the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of functional fatigue on landing mechanics through Landing Error Scoring System (LESS).Fourteen male college students with a mean age of 22±2 years, weight of 68.3±7.2 kg and height of 174±4 were randomly divi...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
CONTEXT Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee are immediately debilitating and can cause long-term consequences, including the early onset of osteoarthritis. It is important to have a comprehensive understanding of all possible risk factors for ACL injury to identify individuals who are at risk for future injuries and to provide an appropriate level of counseling and prog...
متن کاملAnterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
D espite more than 40 years of clinical focus on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)–injured knee, a complete understanding of the injury mechanism, the optimal treatment plan (including reconstruction), and the best protocol for rehabilitation continue to stimulate much debate. Prevention efforts focused on ACL injuries have been laudable, but unfortunately, far too many young athletes still ...
