Contraction of knee flexors and extensors in skiing related to the backward fall mechanism of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament

Abstract: Contraction of knee flexors and extensors in skiing related to the backward fall mechanism of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament Aune AK, Schaff P, Nordsletten L. Contraction of knee flexors and extensors in skiing related to the backward fall mechanism of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. Scand J Med Sci Sports 1995: 5: 165-169. 0 Munksgaard, 1995 The purpose of this study was to examine the motion pattern and muscle activity during jumping and landing in downhill skiing to estimate the muscular… Show more

“…From the current data it is not possible to discern the relative contributions of these mechanisms, yet from a functional perspective, it is interesting to note a possible down-regulation of knee extensor performance commensurate with peak impairments to knee flexor performance (48h). Given that activation of the knee extensors at vulnerable joint angles may be associated with anterior tibio-femoral shear forces and a susceptibility to ACL injury (Aune., Schaff, Nordsletten, 1995), the observed reduction in RFDy might be favourable for knee joint stabilisation in circumstances where knee flexor activation performance is impaired.…”

“…Research on the skier's body position, muscular stress and ground reaction forces (GRF) (Müller, 1994;Aune et al, 1995;Färber et al, 2018;Seifert et al, 2020) as well as studies on the influence of the boot's geometry (Benoit et al, 2005) and material properties (Petrone et al, 2013) can support product development, injury prevention and the development of skiing technique. Hereby, the utilization of pressure insoles is part of present day methods to measure forces within a ski boot or generally in orthopedics (Babiel et al, 1997;Stricker et al, 2010;Nakazato et al, 2011;Adelsberger, 2014).…”

“…In this situation two specific injury mechanisms can be described. First, ACL injuries are common in unbalanced landings when the bodyweight is shifted backwards -"landing back weighted" (Aune, Schaff, & Nordsletten, 1995;Barone et al, 1999;T Bere et al, 2014;Gerritsen et al, 1996). In this situation, the ski ends make the first contact with the snow and the stiff ski-binding-boot system leads to a considerable torque that produces an "anterior drawer".…”

“…However, the ACL is one of several structures crossing the knee joint. Particularly, both the quadriceps and the hamstring muscle-tendon units cross the knee joint and are activated during landing from a jump (Aune et al, 1995;De Britto, Carpes, Koutras, & Pappas, 2014;Peng, Kernozek, & Song, 2011). Thus, it has been discussed whether their activation might contribute to or alleviate the ACL injury risk (Oberhofer et al, 2017).…”
