【 摘 要 】

Excessive frontal plane motion and valgus torques have been linked to knee injuries, particularly in women. Studies have investigated the role of lower extremity musculature, yet few have studied the activation of trunk or “core” musculature on hip and knee kinematics. Therefore, this study evaluated the influence of intentional core engagement on hip and knee kinematics during a single leg squat.
