Abstract

A systematic search was performed of online databases for any Achilles tendon (AT) injuries occurring within the National Basketball Association (NBA). Video was obtained of injuries occurring during competition and downloaded for analysis in Dartfish. NBA athletes (n = 27) were identified with AT rupture over a 30-year period (1991-2021). Of the 27 NBA athletes found to have AT ruptures (mean age: 29.3 [3.3] y; average time in the NBA: 8.5 [3.8] y), 15 in-game videos were obtained for analysis. Noncontact rupture was presumed to have occurred in 12/13 cases. Eight of the 13 athletes had possession of the ball during time of injury. The ankle joint of the injured limb for all 13 athletes was in a dorsiflexed position during the time of injury (47.9° [6.5°]). All 13 athletes performed a false-step mechanism at time of injury where they initiated the movement by taking a rearward step posterior to their center of mass with the injured limb before translating forward. NBA basketball players that suffered AT ruptures appeared to present with a distinct sequence of events, including initiating a false step with ankle dorsiflexion of the injured limb at the time of injury.

nba球员跟腱断裂的机制。

对在线数据库进行了系统的搜索，以查找在美国国家篮球协会(NBA)中发生的任何跟腱(AT)损伤。获得了比赛中受伤的视频，并下载到达特菲什进行分析。在30年(1991-2021)期间，NBA运动员(n = 27)被确认为AT破裂。在27名被发现有AT破裂的NBA运动员中(平均年龄:29.3[3.3]岁;在NBA的平均时间:8.5 [3.8]y)，获得15个比赛视频进行分析。12/13例推定发生非接触破裂。13名运动员中有8名在受伤期间控球。13名运动员受伤时踝关节均处于背屈位(47.9°[6.5°])。所有13名运动员在受伤时都执行了一个假步机制，他们在向前翻译之前，用受伤的肢体在重心后向后迈出一步。遭受AT骨折的NBA篮球运动员似乎呈现出明显的事件序列，包括在受伤时踝关节背屈开始错误的步。

期刊介绍： The mission of the Journal of Applied Biomechanics (JAB) is to disseminate the highest quality peer-reviewed studies that utilize biomechanical strategies to advance the study of human movement. Areas of interest include clinical biomechanics, gait and posture mechanics, musculoskeletal and neuromuscular biomechanics, sport mechanics, and biomechanical modeling. Studies of sport performance that explicitly generalize to broader activities, contribute substantially to fundamental understanding of human motion, or are in a sport that enjoys wide participation, are welcome. Also within the scope of JAB are studies using biomechanical strategies to investigate the structure, control, function, and state (health and disease) of animals.
