Evaluación cinemática del aterrizaje en lesiones traumáticas de rodilla en jugadoras de voleibol

Abstract

This research work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the landing kinematics in female volleyball players due to traumatic knee injuries. Currently, volleyball is a growing sport for the female sex, involving a large number of participants in each competition, however, injuries are also very common in these athletes. The method of evaluation was done by viewing videos that had a traumatic injury and without contact, analyzing the kinematics in hip, knee and ankle. In addition, we evaluated before landing, contact with the ground and weight bearing. As results, it was evidenced that during landing a dynamic knee valgus is produced, being the range of motion of the hip and ankle a risk factor for an acute knee injury. Also, speed of injury may be a determinant of severity. In conclusion, knee trauma is commonly caused by a single leg landing
