Research Themes:

• ACL injury mechanisms and post-reconstruction recovery
• Hamstring-quadriceps muscle interactions
• Trunk position effects on knee joint forces
• Sex-specific biomechanical differences
• Abdominal activation strategies for movement control
• Dynamic joint stability during athletic tasks

Article Trends (2004–2024):

• Focus on ACL injury risk factors, muscle-ligament interactions, and neuromuscular adaptations
• Analysis of landing mechanics, gait symmetry, and joint energetics
• Integration of clinical imaging (e.g., stress sonography) and intervention studies (e.g., Nordic hamstring training)
