Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common injury among healthy young people. Landing with dynamic knee valgus (DKV) is one of the main causative factor that could lead to ACL rupture. During deceleration phase of landing the increased valgus deviation can diminish the shock absorption capacity …

The aim of this study is to investigate the strength of the correlation between the foot progression angle (FPA) and the shock absorption (SA) capacity of the leg in healthy individuals during walking. 22 students were recruited. SA and FPA were measured with accelerometry during walking (20 steps). …

The research aims to test to what extend there is a difference in shock absorption between knee osteoarthritis patients and controls. Shock absorption can be explained by the amount of shock, which is absorbed by the body. The shock, that needs to be absorbed, travels through the body like a wave distally …
