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).”
Gender differences in lower extremity mechanics during running. (2003, background): “Malinzak et al. (2001) studied the frontal and sagittal plane motion of the knee in 11 male and 9 female runners.”
A Comparison of Knee Kinetics between Male and Female Recreational Athletes in Stop-Jump Tasks (2002, methodology): “The increased knee extension moment of the female recreational athletes observed in this study was consistent with the increased quadriceps muscle activation and decreased hamstring muscle activation of female recreational athletes observed by Malinzak et al.(20) These results combined suggest that ”
Biomechanical Measures During Landing and Postural Stability Predict Second Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Return to Sport (2010, background): “Injuries to the ACL often occur with the knee at low knee flexion angles.(4,29) In addition, Lloyd(26) suggested that cocontraction of the quadriceps and hamstrings assists in providing up to 80% of the resistance to frontal plane movement at the knee.”
Hip strength in females with and without patellofemoral pain. (2003, background): “Similarly, more recent, sophisticated kinematic analysis of subjects during athletic movements has confirmed this movement pattern, particularly in women.(22,23,33) Our results indicate that females with PFP may have insufficient strength to resist these external valgus and internal rotation moments”
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes (2006, background): “Hip angles during landing can be important determinants of impact force at the knee.(20,45,64) Women have gender-related neuromuscular imbalances in muscle contraction patterns that include increased rectus femoris firing and decreased gluteal muscle firing.”
Prevention of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injuries in soccer players. Part 1: Mechanisms of injury and underlying risk factors (2009, background): “A greater quadriceps activation [109] and increased knee extension moment [30] during landing of a variety of athletic tasks in female athletes compared to their male counterparts was also observed by other authors.”
Core stability measures as risk factors for lower extremity injury in athletes. (2004, background): “Indeed, recent literature verifies that females tend to display greater hip internal rotation and adduction during athletic tasks (12,22,25).”
