Brief Summary
|
Badminton is a popular, fast-paced racket sport
that involves high-intensity, intermittent actions. Players perform various
movements, such as jumps, lunges, quick direction changes, and rapid arm
swings. Lower extremity injuries are common in badminton mostly occurring during
jump landings in lateral or posterolateral directions. The most common action
is landing on one foot after an overhead stroke on the backhand side. Most ACL
injuries happen due the impact of landing. Females are anatomically predisposed
to higher risk due to wider hips, which result in larger Q-angles, and weaker
hip abductors, leading to dynamic knee valgus. A higher incidence is due to
factors during impact, such as lower knee flexion, higher extension torque, and
increased knee valgus angles. Dynamic knee valgus, a key risk factor, places
significant tensile forces on the ACL, especially during landing and cutting. A
large valgus angle during landing increases ACL injury risk by adding pressure
on the ligament. Knee valgus is also associated with patellofemoral joint
injuries and abnormal patellar tendon loading. Ideal knee valgus angles are
5-12° for females with an increased frontal plane projection angle (FPPA)
indicating greater knee valgus loading. |
