The consistency of knee kinematic, kinetic, and ground reaction force variables collected during running and cutting manoeuvres (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction: Abnormal biomechanics during sports activities
can lead to increased joint-reaction forces, an increased valgus
angle and increased load at the knee. The majority of studies that
assess lower-limb biomechanics commonly use 3D motion... Read More about The consistency of knee kinematic, kinetic, and ground reaction force variables collected during running and cutting manoeuvres.
