Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate weight-bearing knee joint kinematic and neuromuscular responses during lateral, posterior, rotational, and combination (simultaneous lateral, posterior, and rotational motions) perturbations and post-perturbations phases in 30° flexed-knee and straight-knee conditions. Thirteen healthy female athletes participated. Knee joint angles and muscle activity of vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), biceps femoris (BF), semitendinosus (ST), lateral gastrocnemius (LG), and medial gastrocnemius (MD) muscles were computed. Knee abducted during lateral perturbations, whereas it adducted during the other perturbations. It was internally rotated during flexed-knee and externally rotated during straight-knee perturbations and post-perturbations. VL and VM's mean and maximum activities during flexed-knee perturbations were greater than those of straight-knee condition. BF's mean activities were greater during flexed-knee perturbations compared with straight-knee condition, while its maximum activities observed during combination perturbations. ST's maximum activities during combination perturbations were greatest compared with the other perturbations. LG and MG's activities were greater during straight-knee conditions. Compared with the perturbation phase, the mean and maximum muscles' activities were significantly greater during post-perturbations. The time of onset of maximum muscle activity showed a distinctive pattern among the perturbations and phases. The perturbation direction is an important variable which induces individualized knee kinematic and neuromuscular response.
