THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN Y-BALANCE TEST SCORES AND KNEE MOMENTS DURING SINGLE-LEG JUMP-LANDING IN NETBALL.

Background: Using 3-dimensional motion analysis to derive knee moments that may contribute to non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries during single-leg jump-landing is expensive and time consuming. Severe ACL injuries that are inappropriately rehabilitated can potentially end athletes' careers. Consequently, a quick-and-simple to administer screening tool that can be used to infer knee moments during single-leg jump-landing could be useful for regular screening of netballers' predispositions to increased knee loading during single-leg jump-landing.
