Abstract

Introduction: From the onset of puberty females are at a greater risk of sustaining a non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture compared to males. Increased anterior knee laxity (AKL) in females has been proposed as a possible cause of this increased ACL injury risk, due to the associated decrease in dynamic knee joint stability during movements such as landing. Despite this association, there is a dearth of literature investigating the effects of increased AKL on lower limb landing biomechanics in adolescent girls.
