Associations Between Cognitive Function and ACL Injury-Related Biomechanics: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Does lower baseline cognitive function predispose athletes to ACL injury risk, especially when performing unplanned or dual-task movements?

Objective

To evaluate the association between cognitive function and biomechanics related to ACL injuries during cognitively challenging sports movements.

Data sources

PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, Scopus, and SciELO databases were searched; additional hand searching was also conducted.

Study selection

The following inclusion criteria had to be met: participants completed (1) a neurocognitive test, (2) a cognitively challenging sport-related task involving lower limbs, and (3) a biomechanical analysis. The following criteria determined exclusion from the review: studies involving participants with (1) recent or
