The effects of vision and multiple cognitive tasks on pre-landing and early landing mechanics associated with ACL loading

Key Points

• Pre-landing mechanics are significantly influenced by cognitive tasks and visual stimuli, altering ACL loading.
• Landing mechanics observed with dual-task conditions showed increased ACL loading in response to cognitive demands and visual inputs.
• Analysis of pre-landing and landing mechanics evaluated how vision and cognitive tasks interact during the landing phase.
• Findings highlight the need for enhanced training focusing on cognitive load management during landing to prevent injury.
