Purpose Adding external focus of attention (EF, focus on the movement effect) may optimize current anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programmes. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of an EF, by a visual stimulus and an internal focus, by a verbal stimulus …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of kinematic chain manipulative therapy on the frontal plane knee movement in cycling. Methods: in this study 13 amateur cyclists aged between 25 and 65 years old participated and underwent kinematic chain manipulative therapy executed by a professional …

Implicit (IF) and explicit (EF) feedback are two motor learning strategies that have been demonstrated to alter biomechanical movement patterns. While both strategies have been utilized for injury prevention, it remains unclear which strategy may be more effective. PURPOSE: To examine the effects of …

Exergames provide a challenging opportunity for home-based training and evaluation of postural control in the elderly population, but affordable sensor technology and algorithms for assessment of whole body movement patterns in the home environment are yet to be developed. The aim of the present study …

Background: Women have an increased risk of ACL injuries and patellofemoral complaints. Literature has speculated that this might be due to difference in kinematics across gender. Components of a dynamic valgus collapse has been associated with the above mentioned knee complaints. Research question: …
