Abstract: Simple visual inspection of movement is a potentially low cost method for anterior \ncruciate ligament (ACL) injury screening and prevention. Although many \nprofessionals, athletes, and coaches utilize some form of visual inspection of \nmovement/injury risk, there is currently no substantial data on group skill differences. \nSports medicine professionals, exercise science students/academics, and strength \nand conditioning coaches exhibited consistently superior ACL injury risk estimation \nskill compared to sport coaches, parents of athletes and the general public (about 2 \nstandard deviations). In addition, many individuals’ visual risk assessment accuracy \nwas similar to or exceeded clinical instrument-based biomechanical assessment \nmethods (i.e., ACL nomogram). Perceptual-cognitive mechanisms are discussed.
