Effect of sagittal plane mechanics on ACL strain during jump landing

We read with great interest the article entitled, “Effect of Sagittal Plane Mechanics on ACL Strain During Jump Landing” by Bakker et al.1 We congratulate the authors for their complex study design that utilized the in sim approach2 that is designed to cross-correlate the complex results of in vivo, in vitro, and in silico research approaches. The published study adds information in regards to potential models of the mechanisms of ACL injury to the body of literature. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
