Background: Gender differences exist in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) cross-sectional
area and lateral tibial slope. Biomechanical principles suggest that the direction of these …

Background: The relative contributions of an axial tibial torque and frontal plane moment to
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain during pivot landings are unknown. Hypothesis: The …

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that women are at higher risk of sustaining noncontact
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in specific sports. Recent gait studies of athletic …

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a devastating injury that puts an
athlete at high risk of future osteoarthritis. Identification of risk factors and development of …

Background: Females are at an increased risk of sustaining noncontact knee ligament
injuries as compared with their male counterparts. The kinetics that load the anterior cruciate …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries continue to present in epidemic-like proportions,
carrying significant short-and longer-term debilitative effects. With females suffering these …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in sports. Most ACL injuries are
noncontact in nature and frequently occur in certain athletic tasks. In sports such as soccer …

Background: Knee abduction moment during landing has been associated with anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, accurately capturing this measurement is …

Background: Many factors contributing to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk have
been investigated. Recently, some ACL-injured individuals have presented with a …

Background. Despite recent evidence supporting the use of neuromuscular training to
reduce anterior cruciate ligament injury risk, female athletes continue to show an increased …
