Particularly, change of direction (COD) movements, when performed with sub-optimal movement quality, such as knee valgus and lateral trunk flexion, are prominent mechanisms of ACL injury in multidirectional sports. Unfortunately, the formal and objective assessment of COD movement quality is underutilized in clinical and sports practice, with existing methods often confined to expensive, sophisticated laboratory settings impractical for everyday clinicians.
