Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Female athletes face a high risk of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
  • Current training programs aim to improve limb rotational control during athletic movements.
  • Core muscle strength and trunk stability are recognized as crucial factors in limb control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interrelationship between lower extremity function and core stability.
  • To identify key factors mediating rotational control of the limb under the pelvis.
  • To inform the development of targeted injury prevention strategies for female athletes.

Main Methods:

  • This study synthesized findings from recent research on interventional techniques.
  • Evaluated the role of trunk muscle strength and core muscle relationships.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Focused on biomechanical factors during cutting and jumping activities.

    • Main Results:

    • Rotational control of the limb under the pelvis is multifactorial.
    • Stronger trunk muscles and optimal core muscle relationships enhance limb stability.
    • This interrelationship is critical for mitigating knee injury risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Core stability is intrinsically linked to lower extremity function in preventing knee injuries.
    • Training programs should emphasize the integration of core strengthening and biomechanical control.
    • Further research can refine interventions for reducing anterior cruciate ligament injuries in female athletes.
