  1. 16. Knee kinematics during a novel hop test with an unanticipated change of direction for female floorball athletes and controls : Evaluation of within-session and test-retest reliability and assessment of knee function

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Idrottsmedicin

    Author : William Åström; [2016]
    Keywords : Floorball; reliability; anterior cruciate ligament; knee; kinematics; unanticipated;

    Abstract : Introduction: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female floorball is relativley high, and the risk for sustaining a second ACL injury is greater compared to previously uninjured. Existing evaluation tests in rehabilition may not be discriminative enough to guide decisions on return to sport Aim: To evaluate the withinAsession and testAretest reliability of knee kinematics in floorball athletes and controls during a hop encompassing a sudden unanticipated change of direction.

  3. 17. Muscle Activation and Movement Coordination.

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Carl Ljung; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to empirically develop a method of using electromyography to identify how humans coordinate their muscles during certain sequences of movement and the effect of an injured anterior cruciate ligament to muscle coordination. In this study, more simple movements of the lower extremities are examined and relatively accurate hypothesizes can be made solely based on anatomical theory. READ MORE

  4. 18. Cluster analysis for functional data : Kinematic analysis of one leg hop of anterior cruciate ligament patients and uninjured controls

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Johan Strandberg; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis we present an overview of functional data analysis. More specifically, we consider methods of aligning and clustering functions. We compare different clustering methods based on a kinematic data collected from a one leg hop performed by individuals with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and uninjured controls.

  5. 19. The Effects of a New ACL-Injury Prevention Device on Knee Kinematics and Hamstring and Quadriceps Co-Contraction : A Pilot Study

    University essay from Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik (SET)

    Author : Niklas Andersson; [2013]
    Keywords : Hamstring-quadriceps co-contraction; dynamic valgus; knee abduction; anterior cruciate ligament ACL injury; injury prevention; gender differences;

    Abstract : Background: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) –injury is 3-5 times greater in female athletes compared to male athletes. This may be partially attributed to lower levels of hamstring-quadriceps co-contraction in females with subsequent knee kinematics that increases risk of ACL-injury. READ MORE

  6. 20. Return to elite alpine sports activity after an anterior cruciate ligament injury : Ski high school students' experiences

    University essay from Institutionen för pedagogik, psykologi och idrottsvetenskap, PPI

    Author : Birgitta Nordahl; [2011]
    Keywords : ACL injury; elite alpine skiers; perceptions; qualitative method;
