398 Are IMUs sufficiently accurate to measure changes in 3D knee angles and velocities during the 70 ms weight acceptance phase of a jump landing?

Background The accurate tracking of knee joint motions during maneuvers associated with non-contact ACL injury is important for identifying injury mechanisms. Objective We tested the hypothesis that ...
