“…This is supported by the findings found in the associative studies where females are more likely to have poorer landing technique such as reduced hip and knee flexion at initial contact [49,50]; higher knee abduction [51,52] and less knee flexion throughout landing [50] compared to males. Landing with a more erect posture and greater angular velocities than males has also been speculated to contribute to non-contact ACL injury in females [53].…”

Background: Whilst many studies measure large numbers of biomechanical parameters and associate these to anterior cruciate ligament injury risk, they cannot be considered as anterior cruciate ligament injury risk factors without evidence from prospective studies. A review was conducted to systematically assess the in vivo biomechanical literature to identify biomechanical risk factors for non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury during dynamic sports tasks; and to critically evaluate the research trends from retrospective and associative studies investigating non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury risk. Methods: An electronic literature search was undertaken on studies examining in vivo biomechanical risk factors associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. The relevant studies were assessed by classification; level 1 -a prospective cohort study, level 2 -a retrospective study or level 3 -an associative study. Findings: An initial search revealed 812 studies but this was reduced to 1 level 1 evidence study, 20 level 2 evidence studies and 175 level 3 evidence studies that met all inclusion criteria. Level 1 evidence showed that the knee abduction angle, knee abduction moment and ground reaction force were biomechanical risk factors. Nine level 2 studies and eightythree level 3 studies used these to assess risk factors in their study. Inconsistencies in results and methods were observed in level 2 and 3 studies. Interpretation: There is a lack of high quality, prospective level 1 evidence related to biomechanical risk factors for non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. More prospective cohort studies are required to determine risk factors and provide improved prognostic capability.

“…9 However, the sensitivity (0.91) and specificity (0.54) of a CS of 14 to determine injury risk from the first published report 7 has not been reproduced in the subsequent 2 studies, with one indicating a sensitivity of 0.58 and a specificity of 0.74 8 and the other indicating that no receiver operating characteristic curve was able to maximize sensitivity and specificity. 9 These challenges to the ability of the FMS CS to identify injury risk, coupled with well-documented sex differences [10][11][12][13][14] and neuromuscular changes in movement patterns after injury, [15][16][17] suggest that although FMS CSs may be similar between women and men or injured and uninjured individuals, these scores may be obtained with different individual movement patterns. Therefore, men and women and injured and uninjured individuals may not actually perform similarly on the FMS.…”

Context Research is limited regarding the effects of injury or surgery history and sex on the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Y Balance Test (YBT). Objective To determine if injury or surgery history or sex affected results on the FMS and YBT. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Athletic training facilities. Patients or Other Participants A total of 200 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I female (n = 92; age = 20.0 ± 1.4 years, body mass index = 22.8 ± 3.1 kg/m2) and male (n = 108; age = 20.0 ± 1.5 years, body mass index = 27.0 ± 4.6 kg/m2) athletes were screened; 170 completed the FMS, and 190 completed the YBT. Intervention(s) A self-reported questionnaire identified injury or surgery history and sex. The FMS assessed movement during the patterns of deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, impingement-clearing test, straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, press-up clearing test, rotary stability, and posterior-rocking clearing test. The YBT assessed balance while participants reached in anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions. Main Outcome Measure(s) The FMS composite score (CS; range, 0–21) and movement pattern score (range, 0–3), the YBT CS (% lower extremity length), and YBT anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral asymmetry (difference between limbs in centimeters). Independent-samples t tests established differences in mean FMS CS, YBT CS, and YBT asymmetry. The Mann-Whitney U test identified differences in FMS movement patterns. Results We found lower overall FMS CSs for the following injuries or surgeries: hip (injured = 12.7 ± 3.1, uninjured = 14.4 ± 2.3; P = .005), elbow (injured = 12.1 ± 2.8, uninjured = 14.3 ± 2.4; P = .02), and hand (injured = 12.3 ± 2.9, uninjured = 14.3 ± 2.3; P = .006) injuries and shoulder surgery (surgery = 12.0 ± 1.0, no surgery = 14.3 ± 2.4; P < .001). We observed worse FMS movement pattern performance for knee surgery (rotary stability: P = .03), hip injury (deep squat and hurdle: P < .042 for both), hip surgery (hurdle and lunge: P < .01 for both), shoulder injury (shoulder and hand injury: P < .02 for both), and shoulder surgery (shoulder: P < .02). We found better FMS movement pattern performance for trunk/back injury (deep squat: P = .02) and ankle injury (lunge: P = .01). Female athletes performed worse in FMS movement patterns for trunk (P < .001) and rotary (P = .01) stability but better in the lunge (P = .008), shoulder mobility (P < .001), and straight-leg raise (P < .001). Anterior asymmetry was greater for male athletes (P = .02). Conclusions Injury history and sex affected FMS and YBT performance. Researchers should consider adjusting for confounders.

“…21,46,61,67,70,92,161 Uninjured females demonstrate altered peak hip and knee flexion angles, 21,61,70 increased frontal plane motion of the hip and knee, 46,61,70 and larger ground reaction forces 61,70 during athletic tasks compared to their male counterparts. Differences in temporal components of dynamic movement between high-level male and female athletes may partially explain the relative sex disparity in primary–injury risk.…”
