Biomechanical and neuromuscular comparison of single- and multi-planar jump tests and a side-cutting maneuver: Implications for ACL injury risk assessment

摘要

Background: Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries arc a major problem among adolescent female soccer and handball players. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine if known biomechanical and neuromuscular ACL injury risk factors obtained from single-planar jump-landings and multi-planar side-jumps can resemble the demands of side-cutting maneuvers, a known high-risk ACL injury movement for this population.
