“…Although the aetiology of ACL injuries is not fully understood, they are likely multifactorial in nature, thought to be related to a combination of neuromuscular, biomechanical, anatomical, hormonal and genetic factors 1 2. Typically, ACL injuries occur among females in pivoting sports, characterised by rapid changes of direction and frequent single-leg landings, often with the athlete out of balance and almost always without direct contact to the knee, as, for example, in handball and football 3–6.…”

Background Research on balance measures as potential risk factors for ACL injury is limited. Objective To assess whether postural control was associated with an increased risk for ACL injuries in female elite handball and football players.Method Premier league players were tested in the preseason and followed prospectively for ACL injury risk from 2007 through 2015. At baseline, we recorded player demographics, playing experience, ACL and ankle injury history. We measured centre of pressure velocity in single-leg stabilisation tests and reach distances in the Star Excursion Balance Test. To examine the stability of postural control measures over time, we examined their short-term and long-term reproducibility. We generated logistic regression models, 1 for each of the proposed risk factors.

“…However, the ACL loading history of ACL loading could also be a major factor to consider. Presently, we do not know if the ACL will fail under repetitive loading as a result of ligament fatigue failure 37 . Tissue fatigue failures resulting from repetitive loading have been identified as the cause of tibial stress fractures in military recruits 13 and elbow ligament failures in Little League pitchers 20 .…”

“…There is a lack of evidence on the influence that leg dominance may have to non‐contact ACL injury risk. It has been suggested that further research is needed to elucidate the potential contribution of leg dominance to the deleterious position for ACL tears (Shultz et al., ). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate neuromechanical effects of leg dominance in female collegiate soccer athletes during the pre‐contact phase, initial contact, peak knee adduction moment, and peak stance of a side‐step cutting task.…”

Previous studies have shown conflicting information regarding leg dominance as an etiological factor for the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. It remains unclear if lower extremity neuromechanical limb asymmetries exist in experienced athletes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate lower extremity neuromechanical effects of leg dominance in female collegiate soccer athletes during an unanticipated side-step cutting task. Twenty female collegiate soccer players completed an unanticipated side-step cutting task, using their dominant and non-dominant legs. Kinematic and kinetic data were collected to quantify joint angles and forces, with wireless electromyography (EMG) quantifying muscle activity. MANOVA's were conducted to determine the effect of leg dominance on hip and knee mechanics at and between pre-contact, initial contact, peak knee adduction moment, and peak stance periods. Dependent variables consisted of peak time occurrences, hip and knee rotations and moments, ground reaction force, EMG amplitudes, stance time, and approach velocity. No significant differences were found for any variables at or between the periods of interest. Collegiate female soccer athletes exhibit similar movement patterns between dominant and non-dominant legs while performing a side-step cutting task, suggesting that leg dominance does not adversely influence known biomechanical non-contact ACL risk factors.
