..., the carving ski may increase the risk of phantom foot anterior cruciate ligament injury. With respect to safety, the lower and more specifically articulated center of gravity demands a better sagittal balancing ability as well as improved edging behavior to stay centrally positioned over the ski...

... This work was designed to answer two important questions concerning injury mechanics of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). One question was whether strain of the ACL increased linearly with increasing quadriceps contraction, and the other was whether strains in the anteromedial (AMB...

... For the investigation of the boot-induced anterior cruciate ligament injury an experimental case study with a prototype ski boot was performed. The back spoiler of this boot was designed to yield by only a few degrees when a certain level of backward moment was reached. A mechanic switch...

... bindings offer the release sensitivity to protect against many combined MCL/ACL injuries, the release level of the toepiece in twist is an important factor in the prevention of these injuries. alpine skies injury sports equipment knee injuries anterior cruciate ligament medial collateral...

... Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is considered to be a serious injury in an alpine skiing career. Five Norwegian alpine and freestyle World Cup racers suffered ACL ruptures combined with other knee ligament injuries. Their median age was 25 years (19 to 26 years). Four...

... on the simulated loading during a BIAD incident is noted. The higher the speeds, or the stiffer the equipment components are, the higher is the simulated anterior shearing force at the knee, with a supposed greater risk of injury to the ACL. alpine skiing knee injuries anterior cruciate ligament boot...

... The paper reports six case studies of skiers who sustained knee ligament injuries. The aim of this study is to better understand the dynamic mechanisms of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in alpine skiing. To make these case studies, skiers were provided with a questionnaire, were...

... A total of 221 patients were treated conservatively for acute knee ligament injuries at the Tampere University Central Hospital in Finland between 1975 and 1981. Ninety-eight patients had an acute tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), alone (37) or in combination with the medial...

... In recent years, more and more articles in the literature have documented female athletic injuries, especially knee injuries and, in particular, injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament. It has become obvious that this injury is a particularly serious one. A number of explanations have been...

... The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has increased dramatically in alpine skiing lately. We have studied the injury mechanism of an isolated ACL rupture that occurred in a 36-year-old female skier during a video-taped slalom race. The ACL rupture seemed to occur during...
