Summary

This study looked at 150 female athletes aged 14-24 who had already torn their ACL once. The goal was to find out which movement patterns put them at higher risk for a second ACL tear and to test if special rehab exercises could lower that risk. By identifying high-risk athletes early, the researchers hope to prevent career-ending injuries and long-term joint problems.
