Biomechanical correlation at the knee joint between static lunge and single-leg drop landing - a comparative study among three different toe directions

Abstract Background Toe direction is a critical factor affecting knee biomechanics during various movements including closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercise and landing tasks. Physiotherapists always concentrate on the control of toe direction during CKC exercise as a first step for athletes, as it is...
