This study compared the biomechanics of jump landing tasks used in ACL research. Twenty-seven female subjects performed a drop landing (DL), a drop landing with a vertical jump (DVJ), and a forward jump landing with a vertical jump (FVJ). We hypothesized that as one progressed from the drop landing through the forward-vertical jump that the kinematic and kinetic demands would increase, with progressively increasing knee and hip forces, moments, and angles on landing. Separate repeated-measures…

The effect of landing type on kinematics and kinetics during single-leg landings
TLDR
It is suggested that activities surrounding the landing directly impact landing mechanics and overall risk, and matching landing type to sport-specific activities increases the efficacy of assessing injury risk during training or rehabilitation programmes.
Sex-based differences in landing mechanics vary between the drop vertical jump and stop jump.
The influence of kinesio taping on trunk and lower extremity motions during different landing tasks: implications for anterior cruciate ligament injury
TLDR
The research findings suggest that KT after 72-h application may improve knee abduction and sum of knee valgus and lateral trunk lean during SLDL, knee flexion during S LDL and SLVDJ in individuals displaying risky single-leg kinematics in competitive male athletes.
The effects of a subsequent jump on the knee abduction angle during the early landing phase
TLDR
Subsequent jumps cause greater knee abduction during the early landing phase only in female subjects, and this finding may relate to the sex discrepancy in non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Effects of Landing Tasks on the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk Factors in Female Basketball Players
TLDR
The results indicate that seemingly minor variations between drop landing and drop landing with a vertical jump may influence the ACL injury risk factors.
The Effect of Load Placement on Lower Extremity Joint Biomechanics in Landing
Landing is a critical component to athletic performance. Many studies have investigated the effect that added mass has on landing biomechanics finding when load is added to the body during a landing…
Differences and correlations in knee and hip mechanics during single-leg landing, single-leg squat, double-leg landing, and double-leg squat tasks
TLDR
While a double-leg landing should be considered as a priority in screening, a single-leg squat may be used as a surrogate to assess frontal plane motion and loading.
Biomechanical Comparison of Single- and Double-Leg Jump Landings in the Sagittal and Frontal Plane
TLDR
Standard double-leg sagittal plane jump landing tasks used to screen for ACL injury risk and the effectiveness of ACL injury prevention programs may not adequately represent the lower extremity biomechanics that occur during single-leg activities.
Effects of Lower Extremity Muscle Fatigue on Knee Loading During a Forward Drop Jump to a Vertical Jump in Female Athletes
TLDR
Results indicated that female athletes should appropriately increase the knee flexion angle under muscle fatigue condition to reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
The Vertical Drop Jump Is a Poor Screening Test for ACL Injuries in Female Elite Soccer and Handball Players
TLDR
Of the 5 risk factors considered, medial knee displacement was the only factor associated with increased risk for ACL, however, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated a poor combined sensitivity and specificity when medial knees displacement was used as a screening test for predicting ACL injury.

Kinematics and Electromyography of Landing Preparation in Vertical Stop-Jump
TLDR
Female subjects prepared for landing with decreased hip and knee flexion at landing, increased quadriceps activation, and decreased hamstring activation, which may result in increased anterior cruciate ligament loading during the landing of the stop-jump task and the risk for noncontact ACL injury.
Gender differences in knee angle when landing from a drop-jump.
TLDR
In this sample, women landed with a straighter knee than did age- and height-matched men, and significant gender differences in knee flexion angles were found at ground impact during the drop-landing.
Effect of Fatigue on Knee Kinetics and Kinematics in Stop-Jump Tasks
TLDR
Fatigued recreational athletes demonstrate altered motor control strategies, which may increase anterior tibial shear force, strain on the anterior cruciate ligament, and risk of injury for both female and male subjects.
Gender differences in frontal and sagittal plane biomechanics during drop landings.
TLDR
The majority of the differences in kinematic and kinetic variables between male and female recreational athletes during landing were observed in the frontal plane not in the sagittal plane, and females generated a smaller internal knee varus moment at the time of peak valgus knee angulation.
The Effects of Strength Training on the Lower Extremity Biomechanics of Female Recreational Athletes during a Stop-Jump Task
TLDR
Weakness training as a single intervention method may not be sufficient to reduce the risk of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury in female recreational athletes.
Valgus knee motion during landing in high school female and male basketball players.
TLDR
The absence of dynamic knee joint stability may be responsible for increased rates of knee injury in females but is not normally measured in athletes before participation, no method for accurate and practical screening and identification of athletes at increased risk of ACL injury is currently available.
A Comparison of Knee Kinetics between Male and Female Recreational Athletes in Stop-Jump Tasks
TLDR
The results indicate that female recreational athletes may have altered motor control strategies that result in knee positions in which anterior cruciate ligament injuries may occur and technical training for female athletes may need to be focused on reducing the peak proximal tibia anterior shear force in stop-jump tasks.
The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Is a Valid and Reliable Clinical Assessment Tool of Jump-Landing Biomechanics
TLDR
The LESS is a valid and reliable tool for identifying potentially high-risk movement patterns during a jump-landing task and women had higher (worse) LESS scores than men.
Sport-Dependent Variations in arm Position during Single-Limb Landing Influence Knee Loading
TLDR
Constraining the plant-side arm results in increased valgus loading at the knee during run-to-cut maneuvers, which suggests the possibility of greater risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury during these conditions.
Anticipatory effects on knee joint loading during running and cutting maneuvers.
TLDR
Cutting maneuvers performed without adequate planning may increase the risk of noncontact knee ligament injury due to the increased external varus/valgus and internal/external rotation moments applied to the knee.
