Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of anterior cruciate ligament injury.
TL;DR: It is confirmed that most noncontact injuries occur with the knee close to extension during a sharp deceleration or landing maneuver, and passive protection of the ACL by the hamstring muscles may be reduced in patients with above-average flexibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries: risk factors and prevention strategies.
Letha Y. Griffin,J. Agel,M. J. Albohm,Elizabeth A. Arendt,R. W. Dick,William E. Garrett,J. G. Garrick,Timothy E. Hewett,Laura J. Huston,M. L. Ireland,R. J. Johnson,W. B. Kibler,Scott M. Lephart,Jack L. Lewis,T. N. Lindenfeld,B. R. Mandelbaum,P. M. Marchak,C. C. Teitz,E. M. Wojtys +18 more
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
Effectiveness of a Neuromuscular and Proprioceptive Training Program in Preventing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Athletes 2-Year Follow-up
Bert R. Mandelbaum,Holly J. Silvers,Diane S. Watanabe,John F. Knarr,Stephen D. Thomas,Letha Y. Griffin,Donald T. Kirkendall,William E. Garrett +7 more
TL;DR: Using a neuromuscular training program may have a direct benefit in decreasing the number of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in female soccer players.

TL;DR: A group of physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, biomechanists, epidemiologists, and other scientists interested in this area of research met to review current knowledge on risk factors associated with noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Concussion in Collegiate and High School Football Players
TL;DR: Players who sustained one concussion in a season were three times more likely to sustain a second concussion in the same season compared with uninjured players, and contact with artificial turf appears to be associated with a more serious concussion than contact with natural grass.
