Summary:
Golf was found to place force on the knees equivalent to playing football
The strongest force was during the downswing and was associated with the
twisting motion
Neither type of shoe nor golfer's skill level made much difference in the
amount of force
Conclusion:
Full rehab is necessary after a knee injury before a golfer
returns to the game
