ACL injuries are multifactorial in nature meaning they can be the result of faulty biomechanics, individual genetic predisposition, or environmental factors (Alentorn- Geli et al., 2009). A focus most healthcare professionals including physical therapists and athletic trainers includes screening for preventable risk non- contact injuries. Preventable include asymmetry between a person’s limbs, ...

STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. OBJECTIVE To determine if the addition of real-time feedback (RTF) to postresponse feedback (PRF) improves jump-landing kinematics compared to PRF alone and a no-feedback control group. BACKGROUND Injury-prevention programs to reduce risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury have shown promising results in altering jump-landing biomechanics. Real-ti...

Previous observations suggest that females utilize a more erect initial landing posture than males with sex differences in landing posture possibly related to sex-specific energy absorption (EA) strategies. However, sex-specific EA strategies have only been observed when accompanied by sex differences in initial landing posture. This study (a) investigated the potential existence of sex-specifi...

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANDING ERROR SCORING SYSTEMREAL TIME AND DORSIFLEXION RANGE OF MOTION IN RECREATIONAL ATHLETES Hannah Martha Twiddy Old Dominion University, 2016 Director: Dr. Johanna Hoch Participation in physical activity is important for overall health; however, lower extremity injuries are a major risk associated with physical activity. Injuries can lead to time away from physical...

Dynamic knee valgus during landings is associated with an increased risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. In addition, the impact on the body during landings must be attenuated in the lower extremity joints. The purpose of this study was to investigate landing biomechanics during landing with dynamic knee valgus by measuring the vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) and a...
