• Understanding and Preventing Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries (2006, background): “The group also identified ideas for further research (Table 1).(61,62) Since 1999, many additional studies exploring risk factors for ACL injury, injury biomechanics, and injury prevention program development have been published.”
• Injury Mechanisms for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Team Handball (2004, background): “Although a number of hypotheses have been suggested to explain this gender difference, the etiology is still unknown.(15,19,21) Over the past 2 decades, several studies have been carried out to understand the anatomy, function, and mechanical properties of the ACL.”
• Prevention of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injuries in soccer players. Part 1: Mechanisms of injury and underlying risk factors (2009, background): “A less erected posture during landing has been associated with a reduced ACL injury risk [61, 68, 89].”
• Fundamentals of Biomechanics (2003, background): “Female athletes are more likely to experience a non-contact ACL injury than males (Malone, Hardaker, Garrett, Feagin, & Bassett, 1993), and the majority of ACL injuries are non-contact injuries (Griffin et al., 2000).”
• Star Excursion Balance Test as a predictor of lower extremity injury in high school basketball players. (2006, background): “Recent reports suggest that neuromuscular control may be the most modifiable risk factor in the prevention of knee injuries.(9,16) The major neuromuscular control elements identified include dynamic lower extremity alignment upon landing from a jump, shock attenuation of peak landing forces, muscle ”
• Effectiveness of a Neuromuscular and Proprioceptive Training Program in Preventing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes (2005, methodology): “They include anatomical, hormonal, environmental, and biomechanical risk factors.(10) With regard to anatomy, the variation in morphology between males and females has been well examined, including variances in pelvic size and shape, intercondylar notch width, size of the ACL, ligamentous laxity, an”
• A Randomized Controlled Trial to Prevent Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Female Collegiate Soccer Players (2008, background): “In an effort to guide future research, 2 conferences were held to review the identified risk factors and potential prevention strategies; results suggested that neuromuscular and proprioceptive training programs show promise toward reducing the risk of noncontact ACL injuries in female athletes.(9,1”
• Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes (2006, background): “Kinematic differences at the ankle may also contribute to gender differences in ACL injury rates.(38) Variations in ankle joint angles have been shown to influence joint forces, moments, and muscular activation patterns.”
• Return to the Preinjury Level of Competitive Sport After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery (2011, background): “The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is commonly injured during sports participation, particularly in sports involving cutting, jumping, and pivoting.(7) An athlete’s desire to return to sport is cited as a major indication for ACL reconstruction surgery.”
• Core stability measures as risk factors for lower extremity injury in athletes. (2004, neutral): “predispose females to lower extremity injury (15,20).”
