Sex-Specific Associations Between Body Mass Index and Knee Flexion Kinematics and Kinetics in Individuals With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

The association between sex and BMI may have implications for posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis and ACL reinjury, and female sex and high BMI should be considered when designing individualized rehabilitation programs. These findings suggest that females with high BMI may benefit from interventions to improve knee flexion during landing and gait.
