Do Gender Differences in Knee Mechanics Really Exist in Cutting? Implications for Acl Injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous research highlighting gender differences in knee mechanics during cutting were questioned due to these studies typically disregarding the effects of participant characteristics on cutting technique. When males and females were matched for sport, true skill level and lower limb anthropometry, previously-reported gender differences in knee kinematics and moments were no longer evident during the execution of a cutting manoeuvre.

Background: Women and men significantly differ in the extent of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Based on the evidence, gender especially contributes in non-contact mechanism of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The purpose of this study was to compare the movement patterns of the ACL injury risk between men and women during cutting maneuver. Methods: 13 men and 13 women of national...
متن کاملComparison of selected lateral cutting activities used to assess ACL injury risk.
The purpose of this study was to compare the knee joint dynamics for males and females performing constrained cutting tasks to an unanticipated running and cutting maneuver. Sixteen male and 17 female recreational athletes were recruited to perform four cutting tasks; unanticipated run and cut (CUT), stride land and cut (SLC), far box-land and cut (FLC), and close box-land and cut (CLC). Three-...

OBJECTIVE To investigate gender differences in three-dimensional hip and knee joint mechanics in collegiate athletes during a randomly cued cutting maneuver. DESIGN Three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were collected on 24 collegiate soccer players (12 females and 12 males) while each performed the cutting maneuver. In order to create a randomly cued condition, subjects were signaled by ...
متن کاملGender differences in lower extremity coupling variability during an unanticipated cutting maneuver.
The purpose of this study was to determine if gender differences exist in the variability of various lower extremity (LE) segment and joint couplings during an unanticipated cutting maneuver. 3-D kinematics were collected on 24 college soccer players (12 M, 12 F) while each performed the cutting maneuver. The following intralimb couplings were studied: thigh rotation (rot)/leg rot; thigh abduct...
متن کاملGender differences in the kinematics of unanticipated cutting in young athletes.
PURPOSE Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur at a greater rate in adolescent females compared with males who participate in the same pivoting and jumping sports. The purpose of this study was to compare knee and ankle joint angles between males and females during an unanticipated cutting maneuver. The hypotheses were that female athletes would display increased knee abduction, increa...
