Summary
This study explored how well the brain can adjust balance signals (called proprioceptive reweighting) and whether that skill relates to knee injury risk. Researchers tested 41 young, experienced handball players aged 15-25 during jumping and cutting movements. The goal was to see if poor balance adjustment leads to higher loads on the knee's ACL, which could help identify players at greater risk of injury.
