Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes (2006, background): “In contrast to male athletes, who use the hip musculature to a greater extent to absorb energy, female athletes may adopt landing strategies in which more energy is absorbed at the knee and ankle.(22) Therefore, hip control could be involved in the ACL injury mechanism; however, more study of neurom”
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).”
Prevention of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injuries in soccer players. Part 1: Mechanisms of injury and underlying risk factors (2009, background): “[35] suggested that a decreased hip musculature activity may produce a higher ground reaction force, because muscles would be used to absorb energy from a certain task.”
