Einleitung

A critical factor that may limit the efficacy of current injury-prevention strategies is the transferability of neuromuscular-training–induced, injury-resistant movement patterns (ie, coordinated biomechanics that decrease the injury risk) from the intervention to sport.
In addition, recent data indicated that deficits in sensorimotor neural activity underlie the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, but current interventions neither target this neural activity nor induce the neuroplasticity required for the transfer of injury-resistant movement patterns to sport.

The failure of targeted injury-prevention strategies to induce the transfer of adaptations from injury-prevention training to sport likely contributes to the continued high incidence of sensorimotor errors during sport that cause noncontact ACL injuries. For this reason, augmented neuromuscular training (aNMT) was designed to deliver real-time, interactive, augmented-reality biofeedback driven by select biomechanical variables that have been identified as contributing to the injury risk.
