Q

Reasons why women > men for ACL tear?

A
  • neuromuscular forces and control (more quadriceps dominant)
  • landing biomechanics (conditioning and strength) play biggest role, females land in more extension, higher vaglus moment
  • smaller notches
  • smaller ligaments
  • hormone levels
  • valgus leg alignment
