An elastic band wrapped around the distal thighs has recently been proposed as a method for reducing dynamic knee valgus (medial movement of the knee joint in the frontal/coronal plane) while performing squats. The rationale behind this technique is that, by using an external force to pull the knees into further knee valgus, the band both exaggerates the pre-existing movement and provides additional local proprioceptive input, cueing individuals to adjust their knee alignment. If these mechanisms are true, then elastic bands might indeed reduce dynamic knee valgus, which could be promising for use in injury prevention as excessive knee valgus may be associated with a greater risk of sustaining an ACL rupture and/or other knee injuries. Due to this possibility, certain athletic populations have already adopted the use of elastic bands for training and/or rehab, despite a limited number of studies showing beneficial findings. The purpose of this narrative review is to examine current literature that has assessed lower limb muscle activity and/or lower limb kinematics performance on squat-based movements with or without an elastic band(s). Importantly, this paper will also discuss the key limitations that exist in this area, propose suggestions for future research directions, and provide recommendations for training implementations.
最近有人提出，在进行深蹲时，在大腿远端缠绕一条弹力带是一种减少动态膝外翻（膝关节在额状面/冠状面内的内侧移动）的方法。该技术背后的原理是，通过使用外力将膝盖拉向更大程度的膝外翻，弹力带既夸大了已有的运动，又提供了额外的局部本体感觉输入，提示个体调整膝盖的对线。如果这些机制是正确的，那么弹力带确实可能减少动态膝外翻，这对于预防损伤可能很有前景，因为过度的膝外翻可能与前交叉韧带断裂和/或其他膝关节损伤的风险增加有关。由于存在这种可能性，尽管只有少数研究显示出有益的结果，但某些运动员群体已经开始使用弹力带进行训练和/或康复。本叙述性综述的目的是研究现有文献，这些文献评估了在有或没有弹力带的情况下，基于深蹲的运动中下肢肌肉活动和/或下肢运动学表现。重要的是，本文还将讨论该领域存在的关键局限性，提出未来研究方向的建议，并为训练实施提供建议。
