Item Do muscle strength deficits of the uninvolved hip and knee exist in young athletes before anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?(SAGE, 2017) Hannon, Joseph; Wang-Price, Sharon; Goto, Shiho; Garrison, J. Craig; Bothwell, James M.Background: Muscle strength of the involved limb is known to be decreased after injury. Comparison with the uninvolved limb has become standard of practice to measure progress and for calculation of limb symmetry indices (LSIs) to determine readiness to return to sport. However, some literature suggests strength changes in the uninvolved limb also are present after lower extremity injury.Item Effectiveness of a 6-week injury prevention program on kinematics and kinetic variables in adolescent female soccer players: A pilot study(University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, 2010-03) Ortiz, Alexis; Trudelle-Jackson, Elaine; McConnell, Keegan; Wylie, StephanieBACKGROUND: Incidence of knee injuries in female soccer players is 2-6 times that of male counterparts. The objective was to determine whether an injury prevention program incorporated into the athlete’s regular soccer practice is effective for improving landing mechanics.
