Hewett tested whether decreased neuromuscular control and increased dynamic valgus loading of the knee during landing predict subsequent ACL injury in female athletes. Prospective cohort (Level 2) of 205 female soccer, basketball and volleyball players screened with 3D kinematics and kinetics during a jump-landing task, then followed for ACL rupture.
