Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common and potentially catastrophic knee joint
injury, afflicting a large number of males and particularly females annually. Apart from the …

Purpose Technological advances in recent years have allowed the easy and accurate
assessment of knee motion during athletic activities. Subsequently, thousands of studies …

The use of biplanar videoradiography technology has become increasingly popular for
evaluating joint function in vivo. Two fundamentally different methods are currently …

HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND: Narrowing of the subacromial space has been
implicated in several shoulder pathologies. However, the location of the minimum distance …

Background: The in vivo stabilizing role of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) is
poorly understood. While cadaveric studies report that the loaded LHB constrains …

Background: Previous studies have indicated that higher knee joint laxity may be indicative
of an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Despite the frequent clinical …

Purpose Asymmetries in knee joint biomechanics and increased knee joint laxity in patients
following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are considered risk factors for re …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of the trunk position during
the single-leg landing on the knee angle and muscle activity. Forty healthy university …

High-speed dual fluoroscopy is a noninvasive imaging technology for three-dimensional
skeletal kinematics analysis that finds numerous biomechanical applications. Accurate …

State-of-the-art fluoroscopic knee kinematic analysis methods require the patient-specific
bone shapes segmented from CT or MRI. Substituting the patient-specific bone shapes with …
