why are females more likely to suffer an ACL SPRAIN?
hormonal differences- estrogen causes relaxation of muscles which doesnt allow for protection of impact
estrogen found to decrease motor skills
duting menstrual cycle changes in elasticity
2. anatomical differences
women have wider pelvis which leads to a greater q angle which puts more pressure on inside of knees- causes a tendency to turn knees in when jumping
forward slope of the pelvis contributes to a tendency to hyperextend the knees
females have statistically smaller acls than males, smaller intercondylar notch width may inpinge on the acl

females are ligament dominant for stabilization of the knee
women are more quad dominant which pulls on tibia causing more strain
