Biomechanical Measures of Neuromuscular Control and Valgus Loading of the Knee Predict Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk in Female Athletes A Prospective Study

Timothy E. Hewett, +9 more
- 01 Apr 2005 - 
TL;DR: Knee motion and knee loading during a landing task are predictors of anterior cruciate ligament injury risk in female athletes and may help develop simpler measures of neuromuscular control that can be used to direct female athletes to more effective, targeted interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomechanical Measures During Landing and Postural Stability Predict Second Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Return to Sport

Mark V. Paterno, +8 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Altered neuromuscular control of the hip and knee during a dynamic landing task and postural stability deficits after ACLR are predictors of a second anterior cruciate ligament injury after an athlete is released to return to sport.
Journal ArticleDOI

Valgus knee motion during landing in high school female and male basketball players.

Kevin R. Ford, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2003 - 
TL;DR: The absence of dynamic knee joint stability may be responsible for increased rates of knee injury in females but is not normally measured in athletes before participation, no method for accurate and practical screening and identification of athletes at increased risk of ACL injury is currently available.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes Part 1, Mechanisms and Risk Factors

Timothy E. Hewett, +2 more
- 01 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: Identification of both extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors associated with the anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanism may provide direction for targeted prophylactic treatment to high-risk individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuromuscular training improves performance and lower-extremity biomechanics in female athletes.

Gregory D. Myer, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2005 - 
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the combination of multiple-injury prevention-training components into a comprehensive program improves measures of performance and movement biomechanics is supported.
