The Effect of Injury Prevention Training Programs on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Team Sport Athletes
Bogardus, Rima L. (East Carolina University, 2013)Objective: We sought to conduct a meta-analysis to determine whether neuromuscular training programs are effective at reducing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. A secondary purpose was to identify and describe ... -
The Interaction of Trunk-Load and Trunk-Position Adaptations on Knee Anterior Shear and Hamstrings Muscle Forces During Landing
Kulas, Anthony S.; Hortobágyi, Tibor; DeVita, Paul, 1955- (East Carolina University, 2010)Context: Because anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can occur during deceleration maneuvers, biomechanics research has been focused on the lower extremity kinetic chain. Trunk mass and changes in trunk position ... -
Sex-Specific Abdominal Activation Strategies During Landing
Kulas, Anthony S.; Schmitz, Randy J.; Shultz, Sandra J.; Henning, Jolene M.; Perrin, David H. (East Carolina University, 2006)Context: Control of the trunk segment in landing has been implicated as a contributing factor to the higher incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in females than in males. Investigating the sex-specific abdominal ... -
The Effect of Previous Hamstring Injuries on ACL Injury Risk
Andrews, Elizabeth Jane (East Carolina University, 2018-04-20)There are between 100,000 and 200,00 ACL injuries a year with 60% of the injuries being noncontact related. The hamstring muscles increase knee stability and decrease stress on the ACL by assisting in preventing anterior ...
