Brain's balance control may hold key to preventing devastating knee injuries in athletes
NCT ID NCT04736511
Summary
This study aimed to understand if how the brain processes balance signals from the legs influences the risk of a serious knee ligament tear during sports. Researchers measured the movements of 41 young, competitive handball players while they performed jumps and quick direction changes. The goal was to see if players who adapt their balance control poorly under different conditions show movement patterns that put more stress on the knee.
