doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.2014.24.024

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury accounts for about 80% of all anterior cruciate ligament injuries, and mostly occurs in adolescent females. How to assess risk factors of the injury and screen in high-risk populations is essential for effective injury prevention.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the relevant studies about the biomechanical risk factors and preventions methods of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury, and open up new ideas for the prevention of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury.
METHODS: The PubMed database and CNKI database were retrieved for articles published from 1979 to 2014 by network. The English key words were “non-contact anterior cruciate ligament, biomechanicas, risk factors” and “non-contact anterior cruciate ligament, prevention”, while the Chinese key word was “anterior cruciate ligament injury, biomechanics”. The key words were put in the titles and abstracts to search the articles. A total of 58 articles were included which related to biomechanics research and prevention of anterior cruciate ligament injury.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Biomechanical risk factors can be evaluated among adolescents who participate in sports. Landing quickly, stopping, step cutting and other high-risk actions were screened and analyzed. High-risk crowd of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury can be found, and then targeted training. Prophylactic training can improve exercise performance, jumping height and the stability of knee joint in dynamic loading conditions, develop the balance, and increase hamstring muscle strength and controlling ability, which can maximize the prevention of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
