Association between lower extremity posture at contact and peak knee valgus moment during sidestepping: implications for ACL injury.
BACKGROUND Knee valgus load during sports movement is viewed as an important predictor of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury risk , particularly in females . Formulating movement strategies that can reduce valgus loading during these movements therefore appears pertinent to reducing anterior cruciate ligament injury rates . With this in mind , the current study examined the relationship between peak valgus moment and lower extremity postures at impact during a sidestep cutting task . METHODS Ten male and ten female NCAA athletes had initial contact three-dimensional hip , knee and ankle angles and subsequent knee valgus moment quantified  during the execution of ( n=10 trials ) sidesteps .  Peak valgus data were normalized to mass and height and tested for the main effect of gender ( ANOVA , P<0.05 ) . Intra-subject correlations between the eight initial joint angles and the normalized valgus moment were then conducted across the ten sidestepping trials . The ensuing slopes of regression were su bmi tted to a two- sample t-test to determine whether mean slope values were significantly different from zero and for the main effect of gender ( P<0.05 ) . FINDINGS Females had significantly larger normalized knee valgus moments than males . A greater peak valgus moment was associated with larger initial hip flexion and internal rotation , and with larger initial knee valgus angle . Peak knee valgus moment was more sensitive to initial hip internal rotation and knee valgus position in females . INTERPRETATION Training of neuromuscular control at the hip joint may reduce the likelihood of anterior cruciate ligament injury via a valgus loading mechanism during sidestepping , especially in females
