Assessing ACL injury risk in healthy athletes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort study aims to create a database of normative biomechanics for healthy athletes while monitoring them for new musculoskeletal injuries over a year. It focuses on quantifying muscle strength, movement patterns, and biomechanics to understand their relationship with ACL injury risk. Using advanced markerless 3D motion capture technology, the study will gather high-fidelity data to develop algorithms for assessing individual injury risk. Participants will undergo an injury risk screen and complete follow-up surveys to report any new injuries.
