Essential EMG signals for modelling ACL forces: An ablation study

Introduction: Rupture of the knee ’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common injury sustained during sport and recreation. Over the past two decades, rates of ACL have increased markedly, particularly so in young people and young females. New technologies have enabled quantification of ACL loading within the laboratory using EMG-driven neuromusculoskeletal modelling. However, to create a clinic- or field-friendly technology to quantify ACL loading, it is necessary to establish the number and combination of EMG signal that are essential for accurate modelling of the ACL load.
