Abstract

The article reports a study which was conducted to determine whether high knee abduction moment (pKAM) is associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in female athletes. A clinic-based algorithm developed by Myer and colleagues was used in the study. The results show that the pKAM was not associated with noncontact ACL injury in injured athletes.
