- Abstract
The article discusses knee and hip kinematics and the mechanism of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in professional alpine skiing using a model-based image-matching (MBIM) technique. The results suggest that knee compression and knee internal rotation and abduction torque are important elements of the injury mechanism in a slip-catch situation. The article also suggests preventive measures that include prevention of forcing the knee into internal rotation and valgus when flexed.
