【 摘 要 】

Ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are relatively common in sporting activities, especially in sports that require frequent pivoting and rotation of the lower extremities. Previous literature has well-established a direct correlation between terms of the frequency of pivoting movements and the likelihood of ACL injury (1). Sports with the highest occurrences of pivoting movements require frequent changes of direction which include soccer, basketball, and handball. Contrastingly, sports that only require straight forward movements have very limited pivoting movements and changes of direction which include running and weight lifting (1–3).
