Causal pathways between training loads and the mechanisms of tissue damage and athletic
injury are poorly understood. Here, the relation between specific training load measures and …

Background: Women are at substantially greater risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
injuries than are men. Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the …

The rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is three times higher in female athletes
than in male athletes. Intrinsic factors such as increased quadriceps angle and increased …

Mounting evidence suggests that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) may be the result of a
fatigue failure process in musculoskeletal tissues. Evaluations of MSD risk in …

The seventh ACL Research Retreat was held March 19–21, 2015, in Greensboro, North
Carolina. The retreat brought together clinicians and researchers to present and discuss the …

Background: There is an emerging consensus that increased posterior-inferior directed
slope of the subchondral bone portion of the tibial plateau is associated with increased risk …

Multiple computational models have been developed to study knee biomechanics. However,
the majority of these models are mainly validated against a limited range of loading …

Background: Increased posterior tibial slope is associated with increased risk of anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in adults. A similar association has not been rigorously …

Background: Several tibiofemoral anatomic features have been repeatedly associated with
increased anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. Previous studies have highlighted age …

This review identifies the three-dimensional knee loads that have the highest risk of injuring
the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the athlete. It is the combination of the muscular …
