HEWETT, T.E. and G.D. MYER. The mechanistic connection between the trunk, hip, knee, and anterior cruciate ligament injury. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 39, No. 4, pp. 161-166, 2011. Neuromuscular control of the trunk and knee predicts anterior cruciate ligament injury risk with high sensitivity and specificity. These predictors are linked, as lateral trunk positioning creates high knee abduction torque (load). The hypotheses explored are that lateral trunk motion increases load and that neuromuscular training that enhance trunk control will decrease load.
