摘要
Background: Women present a higher anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rate than men, suggesting sex-related biomechanical differences. Task characteristics are often fixed for both sexes, possibly affecting the perceived difficulty. We investigated kinematic sex differences across landing tasks for ACL injury risk assessment, adjusted to participants' anthropometrics/performance, and whether different tasks affect kinematic sex comparisons. Hypothesis: Female subjects would exhibit motion patterns more associated with ACL injury risk, and sex-related differences may depend on task type. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Level of Evidence: Level 3. Methods: A total of 27 female and 29 male amateur players (18-30 years) executed horizontal hop, drop jump (DJ), and DJ followed by vertical or forward jump (length, proportional to maximal forward jump; box, 20% participant's height). An optoelectronic system provided lower limb kinematics at initial contact and peaks until maximum knee flexion (KF), analyzed separately by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) (alpha = 0.05). Results: At initial contact, the interaction term had significant effects on hip adduction (P < 0.01) and knee abduction (KAb) (P = 0.04); female participants demonstrated higher KAb (P < 0.01) and knee internal rotation (P = 0.05). For peaks analysis, the interaction term had no significant effects on any individual variable, although significant in MANOVA; female participants had higher KAb (P = 0.01) and lower KF (P = 0.04). Task type affected hip flexion and knee angles in both analyses. Conclusion: All variables in which significant sex-related differences were found are potential ACL injury risk factors, and all findings indicate that the analyzed female sample exhibited higher injury-related patterns. Although customized, male and female participants showed different landing strategies depending on the task.
