Predictive simulation of single-leg landing scenarios for ACL injury risk factors evaluation [PDF]
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament rupture is a very common knee injury during sport activities. Landing after a jump is one of the most prominent human body movement scenarios that can lead to such an injury. The landing - related Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury risk factors have been in the spotlight of research interest.

Self-Supervised Representation Learning for Detection of ACL Tear Injury in Knee MR Videos [PDF]
The success of deep learning based models for computer vision applications requires large scale human annotated data which are often expensive to generate. Self-supervised learning, a subset of unsupervised learning, handles this problem by learning meaningful features from unlabeled image or video data.

Assessment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk Based on Human Key Points Detection Algorithm [PDF]
This paper aims to detect the potential injury risk of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by proposing an ACL potential injury risk assessment algorithm based on key points of the human body detected using computer vision technology. To obtain the key points data of the human body in each frame, OpenPose, an open source computer vision algorithm, was

In vivo impact on rabbit subchondral bone of viscosupplementation with a hyaluronic acid antioxidant conjugate [PDF]
This study aimed to assess the effects of an antioxidant-conjugated Hyaluronic Acid (HA), specifically HA-4-aminoresorcinol (HA4AR), on articular cartilage and subchondral bone in osteoarthritis (OA). We conducted a comparative analysis between HA4AR and a commercially available high molecular weight HA formulation in a rabbit model of OA.

Causes of anterior cruciate ligament injuries
In order to prevent anterior cruciate ligament injuries it is necessary to define risk factors and to analyze the most frequent causes of injuries - that being the aim of this study. The study sample consisted of 451 surgically treated patients, including 400 sportsmen (65% of them being active and 35% recreational sportsmen), 29% female ...
