    ACL injuries are prevalent in sports, primarily occurring in non-contact situations with multidirectional knee loading.

  • 2

    Kinematic alterations post-ACL injury can lead to mechanical instability and increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis.

    This study investigates trunk, hip, and knee kinematics during vertical hops in individuals over 20 years post-ACL injury.

  • 4

    Participants included those treated with ACL reconstruction and physiotherapy or solely physiotherapy, compared to a control group.

  • 5

    Findings highlight the importance of assessing combined movement strategies in ACL-injured individuals for better clinical outcomes.
