• Deficits in Neuromuscular Control of the Trunk Predict Knee Injury Risk (2007, background): “The mechanism of ACL injury may differ in female and male athletes, especially with respect to the dynamic positioning of the knee, as female athletes demonstrate increased valgus collapse of the lower extremity in the coronal plane.(21) Dynamic stability of an athlete’s knee depends on accurate sen”

• Mechanisms for Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries (2010, methodology): “Some video analyses also showed that valgus collapse seemed to be the main mechanism among female athletes.(18,30) However, cadaver studies and mathematical simulation have shown that pure valgus motion would not produce ACL injuries without tearing the medial collateral ligament first.”
• The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) Is a Valid and Reliable Clinical Assessment Tool of Jump-Landing Biomechanics (2009, background): “Specific movement patterns commonly occurring during ACL and lower extremity injury include decreased sagittal plane joint flexion of the knee, hip, and trunk in combination with increased knee valgus and leg rotation.(10,21,24,37) Knee flexion angle greatly influences ACL loading as quadriceps cont”
