ACL injuries could be reduced 50-70% through simple diagnosis and biomechanical training.

The Packers are listed as one of the clients, but there is no way to know what testing they are doing and how they are using the information.

I have a feeling the Packers are in the "control" category.

I have a friend who was the CEO for a start-up who had a contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. They would do testing with their device on the pitchers' elbows to see who was at risk for injury.

The players hated this. They didn't want the ownership to know anything about a possible injury. It would ruin their ability to negotiate long-term contracts.

from another study:

"CONCLUSIONS:
Eighty-five per cent of the ACL injuries in male professional football players resulted from non-contact or indirect contact mechanisms. The most common playing situation leading to injury was pressing followed by kicking and heading. Knee valgus was frequently seen regardless of the playing situation, but a dynamic valgus collapse was rare."

I don't know. Drinking water seems less complicated.
