Studying Anterior Cruciate Ligament Strains in Young Female Athletes

The central goal of this study is to contribute toward advancements made in determining the underlying causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in young female athletes performing high impact activities like stop jumps. ACL injuries are frequently incurred by recreational and professional young female athletes during non-contact impact activities in sports like volleyball and basketball. This musculoskeletal-neuromuscular study investigated stop jumps and factors related to ACL injury like knee valgus and internal–external rotations and moment loads, as well as ACL strains and internal forces. The dynamic simulation steps undertaken for this analysis using OpenSim 3.2 include Model Scaling, Inverse Kinematics, Residual Reduction, Computed Muscle Control and Forward Dynamics. <br/><br/>This project includes the following software/data packages: <br/> <ul> <li> <a href="https://simtk.org/frs?group_id=955#pack_1613">ACL_Biomech </a> : Studying Anterior Cruciate Ligament Strains in Young Female Athletes </li> </ul>

本研究之核心宗旨在于推动对年轻女性运动员在执行高强度运动如急停跳跃等活动中前交叉韧带（ACL）损伤潜在原因的深入研究。ACL损伤在排球、篮球等运动中，非接触性撞击活动中，常常被休闲和专业年轻女性运动员所遭受。本研究为一项肌肉骨骼-神经肌肉研究，旨在探究急停跳跃及其与ACL损伤相关因素，如膝外翻、内外翻旋转及力矩负荷，以及ACL拉伤和内部力。该分析采用的OpenSim 3.2动态模拟步骤包括模型缩放、逆运动学、残差减少、计算肌肉控制和正向动力学。本项目涉及以下软件/数据包：
