Why women are at greater risk for ACL tears

Women athletes are significantly more likely than men to suffer tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a small but crucial structure in the knee whose failure can derail months of a person’s ...

Clinical Gait Analysis and Its Role in Treatment Decision-Making

The body's response to the valgus thrust at the knee is a net knee adductor moment (Figure 13). Joint kinetic data, specifically the net knee coronal plane moment in stance, would substantiate the ...
