Effects of limited previously acquired information about falling height on lower limb biomechanics when individuals are landing with limited visual input

The results of this study indicate that the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury during landing increases when individuals have limited visual input and prior knowledge of the height of the fall. This finding suggests that an accurate perception of the surrounding environment may help prevent anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
