Abstract
This paper is a descriptive manuscript focused on describing the issue of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the athlete and the efficacy of implementing a neuromuscular and proprioceptive sports specific training program to reduce the incidence of ACL ligamentous injuries. This article will discuss the anatomic role of the ACL, epidemiology, etiology, and the four categorical risk factors for incurring an ACL injury: anatomical, environmental, hormonal, and biomechanical. In addition, this article will discuss the mechanism of injury of ACL injuries as well as a comprehensive review of all of the literature that has been published with regard to the prevention or reduction of ACL injury. Utilizing a neuromuscular training program may have a direct benefit in decreasing the number of ACL ligament injuries in athletes.
