The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common sports injury. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a necessary treatment for individuals to return to competitive sports. However, a high rate of secondary injury occurs when individuals return to sport. Past research has shown that ACLR impairs physical performance, including reduction of force generate against the floor under the injured leg, changes in the gait pattern, and a loss of knee stability. While structural changes following ACL injury can leave the knee joint less stable, neurophysiological changes following ACL injury represent one potentially important mechanism underlying the performance deficits. Healthy individuals rely …
The Influence Of Sex And Body Size On The Validity Of The Microsoft Kinect For Measuring Knee Motion During Landing, Jillian Neufeld
The Influence Of Sex And Body Size On The Validity Of The Microsoft Kinect For Measuring Knee Motion During Landing, Jillian Neufeld
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Measuring knee motion during landing is a method to evaluate knee injury risk. Three-dimensional (3D) motion capture is inaccessible, and the Microsoft Kinect is an alternative to measure knee motion. The primary objective was to evaluate the influence of sex and body size on the validity of the Kinect to measure knee motion during landing. A secondary objective was to compare knee motion between females and males with high and low body mass index (BMI). We assessed frontal plane knee kinematics of 40 (10 per group of females and males with high and low BMI) participants during landing with the …
