Influence of combined posterior and medial-lateral mid-air trunk perturbations on knee biomechanics during single-leg landing
Posterior-lateral perturbation resulted in increased trunk lateral bending, leading to increased ACL loading variables in the frontal plane during single-leg landing. Additionally, posterior-medial perturbation primarily increased sagittal plane ACL loading variables. These findings help understand indirect-contact ACL injury mechanisms and highlight the importance of optimizing trunk control strategies in injury prevention.
