Decreased moment of inertia of the lower limb facilitates a rapid hip internal rotation in a simulated foot impact maneuver. A laboratory-controlled biomechanical study for a precursor mechanism of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury
CONCLUSIONS: The extended knee position with far foot placement from torso reduces the inertial resistance of the entire lower limb around its long axis and is vulnerable to the hip internal rotation.PMID:38436594 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.23.15483-1
