Motivation

  • Over 200,000 anterior

cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries

  • $1.5 billion annually
  • 78% are non-contact

injury

  • 22% result from jump

landing

Background

Role of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

  • One of four ligaments in the

knee (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL)

  • Restricts anterior translation
  • f the tibia
  • Limits rotational movement
  • Stabilizer

Background

Characteristics of ACL Injury

  • Small Knee Flexion Angle
  • Elevated Knee Valgus

Moment

  • Anterior Translation of

the Tibia

Research Question

  • Kinematics
  • Kinetics
  • Surface electromyography

(sEMG)

  • Muscles support the knee

and could potentially reduce ACL injury risk

Experimental Design

  • 58 participants conducted a

SLJL procedure

– Jumped & Landed with preferred leg – Ball was perturbed during flight phase

  • Whole body kinematics &

GRF were measured

  • sEMG collected for six

muscles

  • 10 participant trials were

randomly chosen for further analysis

  • 23 degrees of freedom
  • Scaled to patient data

Create Subject-Specific Simulation

  • Scaling

Generic musculoskeletal model was scaled to subjects’ mass properties and segment dimensions obtained from experimental exams and marker data

  • Inverse Kinematics (IK)

Derive joint angles from the experimental kinematic data

  • Residual Reduction Analysis (RRA)

Create dynamically consistent simulations with the experimentally recorded ground reaction forces

  • Computed Muscle Control (CMC)

Used to estimate muscle excitations and muscle forces

Discussion

  • Largest muscle force estimates in

decreasing order were the quadriceps and gastrocnemius followed by the hamstrings

  • Primary motor control task during

landing of producing a support moment capable of maintaining the center of mass in an upright position

  • The gastrocnemius plays a much

larger role than the hamstrings muscles in dynamic knee movements during single-leg landing.

  • Further analysis is necessary to

determine whether muscles may be selectively recruited based on moment arms to support the knee from externally valgus knee loading.
