🔝"This article investigated joint mechanics during maximal effort ACC & DEC running"
➡️Peak joint moments were usually ⬆️ during DEC compared to ACC, except for the ankle plantar flexion & hip flexion moments

#RTS earlier than 9 months after #ACLR does not increase the risk of a new injury.
"How" an athlete returns is more important than "when."

Delighted to share my first PhD publication, where we review lower limb aponeurosis structure, function, adaptation and injury. We identify the calf and hamstrings as useful case examples and provide directions for future work in this space

Peak joint moments were usually larger during deceleration compared to acceleration, except the ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion moments (where the opposite was true).

Our work found that acceleration was largely driven by positive work from the ankle, followed by the hip then the knee. Deceleration was associated with negative joint work, largely driven by relatively similar contributions for the hip and knee, followed by the ankle.

External forces when DECELERATING can be huge compared to ACCELERATING❗️
What about comparison of internal joint forces ❓
DECELERATION (~5m Reactive) =
📌Hip Extensor = 164% Greater
📌Knee Extensor = 39% Greater
ACCELERATION =
📌 Ankle Plantar Flexor = 63% Greater

We can consider which muscles we want to target to unload the ACL. Prior work which shows both knee spanning and non-spanning muscles are important.
While considering local muscles is great, we should expand our thinking.

"Hamstring Strain Injury Risk Factors in Australian Football Change over the Course of the Season"
New in @MSSEonline
Risk factors were different across the season in AFL, with non-mod factors = pre-season injuries. In-season = modifiable factors

Patellofemoral Joint (PFJ) contact force is reduced following ACL reconstruction 🦵

@argell_sanjose shows reduced peak patellofemoral contact force in ACLR patients at the end of their rehab, largely a function of lower quads force and peak knee flexion angle
More signs that underloading is a cause of OA after ACLR? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
