Summary

The aim of the study is to define a set of quantitative parameters related to articular biomechanics, which will be evaluated during some specific motor tasks. The goal is the prevention of primary and secondary anterior cruciate ligament injury in athletes.

Specifically, the validation of a new comparative methodology of biomechanics analysis will be performed, based on inertial sensors and musculoskeletal models. This way, brief but exhaustive description of functional characteristics of athletes could be created and easily used in ambulatory environment.

Conditions

  • Sport Injury
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
  • Biomechanical; Lesion

Interventions

OTHER

Biomechanical analysis with inertial sensors (XSENS) and motion capture (BTS)

The kinematics of lower limbs, trunk and upper limbs will be calculated both with inertial sensors (XSENS) and motion capture marker-based system (BTS ). Inertial sensors and markers will be placed on the subjects clothes and on the skin (totally non-invasive) to identify body segments. Then subjects will perform their motor tasks normally. Lately, through the data post-processing, the kinematics evaluated with both the systems will be used to describe how well the task is performed in terms of ACL prevention, through derived biomechanical parameters.
