Tiivistelmä
Poor frontal plane knee control can
manifest as increased dynamic knee valgus during athletic
tasks. The purpose of this study was to investigate the
association between frontal plane knee control and the risk
of acute lower extremity injuries. In addition, we wanted
to study if the single-leg squat (SLS) test can be used as a
screening tool to identify athletes with an increased injury
risk.
