Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Human’s health and moving ability are seriously challenged by non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury, biomechanics research on anterior cruciate ligament injury is conducive to the exploration and prevention of anterior cruciate ligament injury.
OBJECTIVE: To expound the biomechanical factors of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury, and to investigate the new progression of research methods and prevention measures of anterior cruciate ligament injury.
METHODS: The PubMed database and CNKI database were retrieved by the author for articles from 1979 to 2011 by computer. The English key words were “anterior cruciate ligament, injury” and “anterior cruciate ligament, biomechanics”, and the Chinese key word was “inverse dynamics”. The key words were put in the titles and abstracts to search the articles. A total of 67 articles were included which related to biomechanics research on anterior cruciate ligament injury, relationship between landing and injury and prevention of injury.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The factors caused non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury were complicated, all of which were interlaced at the same time. Research on the effect of each factor was still limited. But the reason of injury occurred during movement can be explained by biomechanics factors intuitively, thus a new thinking of biomechanics methods can reveal new idea to the essential principle of anterior cruciate ligament injury and prevention of injury. Meanwhile, using correct training method is beneficial to injury’s prevention, especially to non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury.
