Our study\u00a0(recently published in BJSM) examined injuries across six winter seasons and was a collaboration between the University of Innsbruck (Innsbruck, Austria), Sportclinic Medalp (Imst, Austria), the University College of Education (Stams, Austria), and the University of Washington (Seattle, USA).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Why is this study important?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alpine skiing is one of the most popular winter activities and has wide appeal, from families to adrenaline seekers. During falls or when a skier is out-of-control, a ski can act as a lever arm and produce injurious torques on the lower extremities, especially on the knee joint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, improvements in the ski binding-boot systems have had little effect on knee injury rates over the past few decades, and the knee now represents the most prevalent injury location in skiing.\u00a0 As anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are the most common ski-related knee injury, our latest research focused on understanding the skier and equipment factors related to ACL injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How did the study go about this?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We gathered data from ACL-injured skiers and their equipment across six consecutive ski seasons at an Austrian ski area to examine the relationships between ski equipment parameters and ACL injuries. A questionnaire gathered information from skiers about anthropometry, skill, and risk-taking behavior. Equipment-related data (such as ski length, side-cut radius, and standing heights at the front or rear binding component) were recorded from the ski or measured directly. \u00a0We specifically examined the pitch of the ski boot when it was in the binding and defined a new parameter called \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">standing height ratio\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as the ratio of front and rear component heights. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">standing height ratio<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was less than 100% when the front binding component was lower than the rear binding component with the boot pitched forward (Figure 1).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10181\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-300x115.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-768x294.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-640x245.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis.jpg 904w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10181\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-300x115.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-768x294.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis-640x245.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bjsm\/files\/2022\/08\/skis.jpg 904w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Figure 1: Standing heights of the front (h<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">f<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) and rear (h<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">r<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) ski binding components.

Skiers with less experience skiing and those who reported taking more risks were 7 and 4 times more likely to sustain an ACL injury, respectively. Also, older skiers had a higher risk of ACL injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ski-binding-boot parameters that were independent risk factors for an ACL injury included ski length, tip width, and standing heights. The shorter skis, reduced tip widths, and lower standing heights were associated with a reduced likelihood of ACL injury. Higher rear standing height and greater standing height ratio (a more horizontal ski boot sole position in the ski binding) had the most significant effects on ACL injury risk, with risk increasing by about 4 and 3 times, respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What are the key take-home points?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skiers can take some actions to reduce the chance of an ACL injury during recreational skiing. One such action is to dial back their risk-taking behaviors and improve their skills. In addition, using somewhat shorter skis (i.e., using skis with a narrower tip region) and reducing the rear standing height and standing height ratio could lower the chance of an ACL injury, which should be considered when buying or adjusting ski equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ruedl G, Posch M, Tecklenburg K, Schranz L, Greier K, Faulhaber M, Scher I, Burtscher M.
