Biomechanical Measures of Neuromuscular Control and Valgus Loading of the Knee Predict Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk in Female Athletes: A Prospective Study (2005, methodology): “Gender differences in ACL injury rates and in neuromus cular control during potentially hazardous sporting move ments are well documented in the literature.(8,12,19,30) Figure 8.”
Understanding and Preventing Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries (2006, background): “Other controlled laboratory studies reported that women have “leg dominance,” that is, an imbalance between muscular strength, flexibility, and coordination between their lower extremities, and such imbalances are associated with an increased risk of injury.(12,50,73,83,116) In another laboratory co”
Gender differences in the incidence and prevalence of patellofemoral pain syndrome (2010, background): “…dynamic measures of knee valgus angle, hip internal rotation angle, hip adduction moment, and knee valgus moment, and decreased dynamic measures of knee flexion angle (Malinzak et al., 2001; Lephart et al., 2002; Decker et al., 2003; Ford et al., 2003; Pollard et al., 2006; Sigward & Powers, 2006).”
Mechanisms of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Basketball (2007, background): “However, although several laboratory studies have supported this theory,(31,38) some studies also found no differences,(36) and several studies have even reported larger flexion angles in women.(10,11) Huston et al(18) showed significantly less knee flexion at IC during a drop landing from a 60-cm h”
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes (2006, background): “This neuromuscular strategy of unmatched lateral quadriceps firing, as evidenced by a decreased medial-to-lateral ratio, by the female athletes could be related to the increased propensity of women to demonstrate increased abduction motion and moments at the knee.(31,42,44) An unbalanced or low rati”
