The Mechanistic Connection Between the Trunk, Hip, Knee, and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Open accessAbstract
In Brief Neuromuscular control of the trunk and knee predicts anterior cruciate ligament injury risk with high sensitivity and specificity. These predictors are linked, as lateral trunk positioning creates high knee abduction torque (load). The hypotheses explored are that lateral trunk motion increases load and that neuromuscular training that enhance trunk control will decrease load. Mechanistic linkages between trunk control and ACL injury provide a rationale for the development of "core-based" interventions to reduce ACL injury.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The fact that hip adduction and knee medio-lateral displacement was greater in poor SLSs than in good SLSs suggests that hip abductor weakness may be responsible for the sub-optimal performance. 1,23,24”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The position of the trunk, however, should not be discounted as a contributor to increased knee medio-lateral displacement, as the large relative mass of the trunk has the potential to influence the position of the body's centre of mass in the frontal plane and thus to affect hip and knee loading during activities such as the SLS. 24”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
