The Impact of Sex and Knee Injury History on Jump-Landing Patterns in Collegiate Athletes: A Clinical Evaluation

Conclusions: Jump-landing patterns seem to be impacted by sex but not knee injury history. Findings related to sex differences corroborate with previous laboratory-based investigations. Furthermore, findings support the clinical use of the LESS to screen for individuals who may be at risk for a lower extremity injury. Future studies should further investigate the clinical utility of the LESS, particularly its ability to predict lower extremity injuries.
