Effects of a patellar strap on knee joint kinetics and kinematics during jump landings: an exploration using a statistical parametric mapping and Bayesian approach

The aim of the current research was to investigate the effects of a patellar tendon strap on knee joint kinetics and kinematics during a vertical jump task using a statistical parametric mapping (SPM) and Bayesian approach. Twenty-eight (14 male and 14 female) participants performed a vertical jump task under two conditions (patellar tendon strap/no-patellar tendon strap). Biomechanical data were captured using an eight-camera 3D motion capture...
