Should You Wear A Knee Brace?
This has always been the million dollar question! Knee injuries are a fact of life in any sport, but over the past 30-35 years serious knee sprains, usually involving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), have become an inherent risk of modern Alpine skiing, with more than 70,000 sustained each year by skiers.
The ACL, located near the center of the knee, helps to maintain proper alignment of the load-bearing surfaces. Injury to the ACL can result in an unstable knee, which may lead to expensive surgery or a lengthy period of rehabilitation if the injured skier is to resume an active lifestyle.
Events leading up to ACL injury are subtle, giving the skier little or no warning of impending injury.

ACL Awareness programs provide three independent strategies for dealing with this lack of warning:
- Avoid altogether high risk behavior
- Routinely correct poor skiing technique
- Recognise and respond quickly and effectively to potentially dangerous situations
Although there are many ways in which knee injuries can occur in skiing, this eBook concentrates on the two most common scenarios, the Phantom Foot and the Boot Induced.

Types of ACL
The Phantom Foot ACL
It involves the tail of the ski, a lever which points in a direction opposite that of the foot.
The Boot Induced ACL
The boot induced mechanism occurs when a skier lands off balance to the rear whilst attempting a jump.
