Implication

Cross-sectional study reveals altered landing mechanics in collegiate basketball players with patellar tendon abnormality, suggesting functional movement adaptations.

Key Points

Altered hip and knee kinematics and kinetics are associated with patellar tendon abnormality in male collegiate basketball players during landing.
Vertical ground-reaction force decreased significantly to 169 ± 26 %body weight, while hip flexion velocity increased to 416 ± 74 deg/s in abnormal limbs.
Cross-sectional assessment of 52 limbs using ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging highlights functional adaptations that may guide preseason screening.
