Mechanisms behind knee injuries and possiblities for prevention

Location: Livade 1.0, Izola

Time: 20:00 - 22:00

At the event we will present the force plate and the kinematic system for movement analysis. With the use of this equipment we can gather the data needed for precise calculations of torques acting on specific joint and recognise potentially dangerous movement patterns. We will focus on the biomechanical loading of the knee which is one of the most frequently injured joints of the human body leading to premature end of sport careers or recreation termination. At the event we will execute some real assessments of different functional tasks such as squatting, jumping, hopping, etc. And the results will be interpreted with practical examples.
