Abstract
The purposes of this study were to investigate effects of conditions on knee joint load during cutting movement, and to compare them during experiment, and to examine what condition pose a risk for knee injury. Three experiments were performed by 6 male graduate students: control, slow and fast speed, 45 degree direction, toe in and toe out cutting .Knee joint forces and moments were calculated by Inverse dynamics. During fast speed, peak posterior force was greater than low speed. During toe-out, peak abduction moment was lower than toe-out and control cutting. It was suggested that in toe out cutting, the risk of knee injury is decreased by greater peak abduction moment with comparison of toe in and control cutting.
