What is Biomechanics of Lower Limb Injuries During Landing about?

Biomechanics plays a key role in occurrence, prevention and rehabilitation of the landing injuries. Some factors can affect the biomechanical performance of landing. To evaluate the effect of various factors, we measured kinematic, kinetic and EMG properties of 16 subjects while they land with changed conditions. We found that landing on level ground with two legs was stable, and the body would be injured before dynamic postural stability was impaired. Compared with the dominant lower limb, the non-dominant limb has a more effective protective mechanism in that the ankle motion is restrained by higher flexor activities. Women are prone to transform the landing energy to the joint motion, whereas men are more likely to transform it to friction. The semi-rigid stabilizer was helpful for men in increasing shank muscle activities. For women, high stabilizer rigidity had little influence on the muscle activities, and it could contribute to larger injury risk. Terrain stiffness did not appear to influence ankle biomechanics.
