Torsional injuries of the lower limb: an analysis of the frictional torque between different types of football turf and the shoe outsole KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Football turf is increasingly used in European soccer competition. Little is known on the rotational torque that players experience on these fields. High rotational torques between the shoe outsole and the sports surface has been correlated with torsional injuries of the lower limb and knee. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of six parameters that could influence the rotational torque between the shoe outsole and the latest generation ...
