Volume changes in leg muscles during ski-specific motions as a basis for optimized junction in preventive knee bracing
Most injuries in alpine ski world cup are knee injuries (36%) and more than half of them lead to a break of more than 28 days (Flørenes et al., 2009). These numbers can be potentially reduced by usage of an effective knee brace which - at the same time - needs to be non-disturbing. This study examines for the first time the changes in soft tissue volume of the leg in different ski-typical positions to enable an optimized junction between the leg and prospective knee braces.
