Summary

This study looked at 150 female athletes aged 14-24 who had already torn their ACL once. The goal was to find movement patterns that raise the risk of a second tear and test if special rehab exercises can lower that risk. Nearly one-third of athletes who return to sport after an ACL tear suffer another injury, so this research aims to prevent that and protect their long-term health.
