Effects of foot progression angle on knee mechanics during an anticipated cutting task: A statistical parametric mapping approach

Cutting is considered a "high-risk" movement for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. It has been established that sex differences exist during cutting, placing females at greater ACL injury risk. Foot progression angle (FPA) during landing has been shown to influence lower extremity mechanics, yet little is known how FPA influences mechanics during cutting. The purpose of this study was to compare two FPA conditions during cutting between...
