Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rates are rising, particularly among female athletes, though causes remain unclear. This study: (i) identify accurate machine learning models to predict ACL length, strain, and force during six high-impact and daily activities; (ii) assess the significance of kinematic and constitutional parameters; and (iii) analyse gender-based injury risk patterns. Using 9,375 observations per variable, 42 models were trained. Cubist, Generalized Boosted Models (GBM), and Random Forest (RF) achieved the best R², RMSE, and MAE. Knee flexion and external rotation strongly predicted ACL strain and force. Female athletes showed higher rotation during cuts, elevating ACL strain and risk.

通过机器学习研究高冲击和日常活动中ACL长度、应变和拉伸力。

前交叉韧带（ACL）重建率正在上升，尤其是在女运动员中，尽管原因尚不清楚。本研究：(i)确定准确的机器学习模型，以预测六种高影响和日常活动中的ACL长度，应变和力；（ii）评估运动学和结构参数的重要性；（三）分析基于性别的伤害风险模式。每个变量使用9375个观测值，训练了42个模型。立体模型（Cubist）、广义提升模型（Generalized boosting Models， GBM）和随机森林模型（Random Forest， RF）获得了最好的R2、RMSE和MAE。膝关节屈曲和外旋强烈预测前交叉韧带拉伤和受力。女性运动员在割伤时旋转度更高，增加了前交叉韧带劳损和风险。
