Synopsis

28 athletes with knee flexion angles of less than 30 degrees were randomized to investigate the efficacy of a knee extension constraint device in improving knee flexion angles during peak impact posterior ground-reaction force, and in decreasing peak impact ground-reaction forces during landing of a stop-jump, and side-cutting task. The evidence presented in this study demonstrated that the use of...
