Knee Proprioception Fatigue and Injury Risk

A few years ago as a student at an ACA Sports Council Annual Symposium, I presented on some original research regarding knee proprioception fatigue and injury risk. So basically we wanted to know if when an athlete gets tired, does their body positioning awareness in space change to a point that may put them at risk of injury. Unfortunately, our population size was too small to obtain any statistical significance making this a pilot study and statistically not seeing a correlation. However, what was really interesting is we did notice some of the participants did have difficulty recreating the test once the subject self reported fatigue.
