SATURDAY, July 17 (HealthDay News) -- Athletes at high risk for anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can be identified through a simple,
inexpensive method that can be done in a doctor's office, according a new
study.
The approach combines measuring the tibia (shin bone) with a standard
measuring tape, weighing the patient, and using a camcorder to record the
motions of the patient's knee when landing after a jump.
The accuracy of this method was very close to that of expensive and
complex laboratory-based motion analysis systems, according to the
researchers.
The study was to be presented July 17 at the annual meeting of the
American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine in Providence, R.I.
