Influence of relative injury risk profiles on anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament strain during simulated landing leading to a noncontact injury event

This behavior justifies why neuromuscular interventions have greater impact on higher-risk athletes and supports the continued screening and targeted training of those athletes that express greater injury risk. The loading disparity between ACL and MCL justifies their limited concomitant injury rate.
