  1. Hi everyone! If you are in the Cape Town area it would be great if you can help as a participant in this study for Sam's doctorate. She needs quite a few more participants as her current sample size is too small. Give it a go UCT REQUIRES PARTICIPANTS FOR KNEE LAXITY STUDY: Questioning the effect of genetics on knee laxity and risk of ACL rupture What is the study about? Our study aims to determine whether genetics effects knee joint laxity (looseness of the joint) and risk of knee ligament injury. By gaining a better understanding of the role of specific gene variants in knee joint laxity, we improve our understanding of the cause of ACL injuries, this in turn could help us to better prevent them in the future. Who is eligible to participate? We are looking for healthy individuals (with or without previous ACL injury) who: • Have had no lower limb or spinal cord injuries in the past 6 months • Are 18 - 50 years of age • Have a BMI of less than 30 • Are physically active • Have not been diagnosed with connective tissue or skeletal muscle disorders What will be required of you? One visit to the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, Boundary Rd Newlands, for: o Completion of questionnaires (personal particulars, sports participation, etc.) o A small blood sample being drawn blood o Height and weight measurement o Flexibility measurement using a sit and reach test o Four joint laxity tests What are the benefits? • You will receive results of the various joint laxity tests. • On completion of the study, feedback with regards to the overall results of the study. To apply to take part in the study or for more information, please contact Sam on sambeckley@gmail.com or call 082 974 3046. Knee laxity study 22-05-2018.pdf
