Table 1.

Predefined checklist for independent evaluation of situational and kinematic patterns.

Modified from Klein et al. [17]

Situational pattern
Date of match
Match minute of injury / Match minute for injured player (if substitute)
Playing position of injured player
Field location (football pitch divided into 14 zones)
Ball possession
 Injured player / Own team / Opponent team / Unclear / Nobody
Direction of movement
 Forward / Lateral / Backward / Not horizontal
Pitch contact
 Both legs / Single leg / No contact
Main injury mechanism
 Contact / Indirect contact / Non-contact with distance to another player < 2 m / Non-contact with distance to another player > 2 m
Kinematics
 Trunk position
  Flexion / Neutral / Extension
 Hip joint movement (sagittal)
  Flexion to extension / None / Extension to flexion
 Hip joint angle at assumed injury frame (sagittal)
   < 45° / 45–90° /  > 90°
 Knee joint movement (sagittal)
  Flexion to extension / None / Extension to flexion
 Knee joint angle at assumed injury frame (sagittal)
   < 45° / 45–90° /  > 90°
 Ankle joint movement (sagittal)
  Plantarflexion to dorsiflexion/none/dorsiflexion to plantarflexion
 Foot position in sagittal plane at assumed injury frame
  Plantarflexion / Neutral / Dorsiflexion
 Foot position in coronal plane at assumed injury frame
  Supination / Neutral / Pronation
 Foot position in axial plane at assumed injury frame
  Abducted / Neutral / Adducted
