Excessive knee valgus during landing tasks is a contributing factor to knee injuries. Most studies have examined lower extremity biomechanics during the forward direction of a jump-landing task. Athletes perform many movements in the air and land in multi-directions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the peak knee valgus angle (PKVA) during one leg jump-landing in various directions.
Eighteen male basketball and volleyball athletes participated in the study. Participants performed one leg jump-landing tests from a 30 cm height platform in four directions. Knee valgus motion was measured using Vicon™ motion system. The data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA.
Direction significantly (P<0.001) influenced the PKVA during landing. Significantly higher PKVA was observed for the lateral (8.8°±4.7°) direction as compared to forward (5.8°±4.6°) direction (P<0.05). The PKVA in 30° diagonal (7.5°±4.6°) and 60° diagonal (7.7°±5.7°) directions was higher than in the forward direction (P<0.05).
One leg jump-landing in lateral and diagonal directions results in a higher PKVA compared to landing in a forward direction and could lead to a higher risk of knee injury.
落地任务期间过度的膝外翻是导致膝关节损伤的一个因素。大多数研究考察了向前方向的跳跃落地任务中的下肢生物力学。运动员在空中会进行多种动作并向多个方向落地。因此,本研究的目的是评估单腿向不同方向跳跃落地时的膝外翻峰值角度(PKVA)。
18名男性篮球和排球运动员参与了本研究。参与者从30厘米高的平台进行四个方向的单腿跳跃落地测试。使用Vicon™运动系统测量膝外翻运动。数据采用重复测量方差分析进行分析。
方向对落地时的PKVA有显著影响(P<0.001)。与向前方向(5.8°±4.6°)相比,外侧方向(8.8°±4.7°)的PKVA显著更高(P<0.05)。30°对角线方向(7.5°±4.6°)和60°对角线方向(7.7°±5.7°)的PKVA高于向前方向(P<0.05)。
与向前落地相比,单腿向外侧和对角线方向跳跃落地会导致更高的PKVA,并可能导致更高的膝关节损伤风险。
