Introduction: Dynamic knee valgus and poor technique during landing are not only key risk factors for lower extremity injuries especially knee injury, it also can reduce performance. Sportsmetrics soccer training is one of the successful knee injury prevention and enhancement performance protocols in female soccer players. But, the effect of Sportsmetrics soccer training has not been investigat...

BACKGROUND ACL ruptures in Alpine ski racers are frequently observed. This study analysed the association between physical fitness, race performance and the knee injury history. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to investigate the influence of physical fitness and performance on the knee injury outcome. As part of this study an injury data base (covering 2004-2013) was established t...

The high volume of training involved in competitive swim training result in cumulative overload injuries. Knee pain ranks second to shoulder pain as a common complaint in competitive swimmers. Most knee pain occurs on the medial side of the knee and occurs most commonly in breaststroke swimmers; however, knee pain may occur in all strokes. This article will review the incidence, biomechanical a...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is common in knee joint accounting for 40% of sports injury. ACL injury leads to knee instability, therefore, understanding knee stability assessments would be useful for diagnosis of ACL injury, comparison between operation treatments and establishing return-to-sport standard. This article firstly introduces a management model for ACL injury and the cont...

Background: Osteoarthritis is a common chronic disease of the musculoskeletal system in older adults. Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of in-person and distance exercise training on the outcomes of knee injury and osteoarthritis among the elderly with limited literacy. Method: In this two-group randomized clinical trial with a pretest-posttest design, 60 elderly patients with knee i...

In a chart review 31 traumatic knee dislocations were identified in 30 patients during an eight year period (1992-2000).Fifteen dislocations (48.4%) were posterior,seven anterior,eight occult and one medial.out of the five cases of vascular injuries three happened with posterior dislocations and in four patients associated ipsilateral limb injuries were present .the general incidence of simulta...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of floating toes on knee and trunk acceleration during walking in experimental setting. [Subjects and Methods] Twelve healthy volunteers walked barefoot at a preferred speed along a linear pathway under 2 conditions: normal gait (control) condition and floating toes (FT) condition. In the latter, weight bearing by the toes was avoided using kinesiolo...

OBJECTIVE Knee ligament injuries frequently cause devastating impairment to the injured. In car-pedestrian impact accidents, lateral-medial shear displacement is one of principal mechanisms of knee ligament injuries. The current study aims to investigate injury thresholds of knee ligaments under lateral-medial shear loading to improve pedestrian safety. METHODS Ten isolated human knee joints ...

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the anatomy of anterolateral ligament (ALL), ALL injuries and relationship between other knee ligaments injuries, meniscal tears, bone by retrospectively scanning patients’ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 
 Material Methods: Our was designed as a retrospective, non-randomized, single-center clinical study. We included MR images 320 patients who applied o...
