Injury of Lower Limb Joint

Information of the Project
Launch	April 2003-
Collaborators	Yasuharu Nagano (Japan Women's College of Physical Education) Mako Fukano (Shibaura Institute of Technology) Totu Fukubayashi (Tokyo Ariake University of Medical and Health Sciences) Koji Sato (Kurume University) Hideyuki Ishii (Saint Paul's University)
Grants	JSPS KAKENHI 19650179 JSPS KAKENHI 18300219
Keywords	Sports Injury, Knee Joint, Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Joint 6-DOF Motion, Point Cluster Technique, Cluster Marker Measurement, Landing Motion
Outline	Injuries in sports frequently occur in the lower extremity such as ankle sprain and anterior cruciate ligament damage. We use a motion analysis procedure called "point cluster technique" to provide biomechanical evidence for the mechanism of traumatic injury and intervention effect of prevention training.
