Abstract

A high number of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur during cutting maneuvers. The peak knee abduction moment (KAM) within the early phase of stance is a strong predictor of ACL injuries. Still, measuring knee joint loading in-field is challenging. However, to understand ACL loading, quantify the effectiveness of prevention programs, and to screen athletes, it may be necessary to mimic game-like scenarios in a controlled laboratory-based environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare KAM magnitudes and ranking consistency when simulating key game elements (catching a ball, faking defenders).
