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

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

The Effect of Neuromuscular Training on the Incidence of Knee Injury in Female Athletes A Prospective Study

TL;DR: This prospective study demonstrated a decreased incidence of knee injury in female athletes after a specific plyometric training program.

Noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries: risk factors and prevention strategies References:

TL;DR: Early data on existing neuromuscular training programs suggest that enhancing body control may decrease ACL injuries in women and further investigation is needed prior to instituting prevention programs related to the other risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries: risk factors and prevention strategies.

TL;DR: The risk factors for noncontact ACL injuries fall into four distinct categories: environmental, anatomic, hormonal, and biomechanical as discussed by the authors, and early data on existing neuromuscular training programs suggest that enhancing body control may decrease ACL injuries in women.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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.
