Risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Female Soccer Players With Increased Lateral Plantar Loading and Reduced Medial Metatarsal Loading During Running: A Prospective Study
Female soccer players who sustained ACL injuries exhibited reduced medial metatarsal loading and a lower medial-to-lateral plantar force ratio during running. These findings suggest that altered plantar loading patterns may contribute to ACL injury risk.
