Synopsis ACL Injuries in the Female Athlete by : Frank R. Noyes
This successful book, now in a revised and updated second edition, reviews all aspects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female athletes, with the focus on complete, noncontact ACL injuries. The opening section discusses anatomy and biomechanics and explains the short- and long-term impacts of complete ACL ruptures, including long-term muscle dysfunction and joint arthritis. Risk factors and possible causes of the higher noncontact ACL injury rates in female athletes compared with male athletes are then discussed in depth. Detailed attention is devoted to neuromuscular training programs and their effectiveness in reducing noncontact ACL injury rates in female athletes, as well as to sports-specific ACL injury prevention and conditioning programs of proven value. Rehabilitation programs after ACL injury and reconstruction that reduce the risk of a future injury are explored, and the concluding section looks at worldwide implementation of neuromuscular ACL injury prevention training and future research directions. The book will be of value to orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, athletic trainers, sports medicine primary care physicians, and strength and conditioning specialists.

Synopsis ACL Injuries in the Female Athlete by : Frank R. Noyes
Nearly a million anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur each year worldwide, causing long-term problems in the knee joint. This textbook examines the short- and long-term impacts of ACL injuries on the basis of hundreds of published studies. Risk factors for such injuries are explored using data from hypothesis-driven investigations, and possible causes of the higher risk of noncontact ACL injuries in female athletes are analyzed. Neuromuscular training programs shown to reduce the rate of these injuries in female athletes are described in step-by-step detail with the aid of numerous color photographs and video demonstrations. In addition, detailed descriptions are provided for rehabilitation programs to be used after ACL reconstruction in order to reduce the risk of a future injury. The book will be of value to orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, athletic trainers, sports medicine primary care physicians, and strength and conditioning specialists.

Synopsis The Female Athlete E-Book by : Rachel Frank
Of all the important factors that must be considered when assessing and treating an athlete, the impact of patient sex is perhaps the most critical, yet historically has often been neglected. The "same injury" in a male patient may present differently, sometimes in subtle ways, than in a female patient and may require a different treatment approach. The Female Athlete, edited by Dr. Rachel Frank, provides concise, expert coverage of the ways in which common sports medicine injuries present in female patients versus male patients, describing recent literature analyzing sex differences in injury patterns and available treatment options. - Provides a comprehensive review of key areas of importance related to care for women in sports, including the differences in care and treatment for male and female patients. - Covers many of the most common injuries female athletes face, including ACL injuries, shoulder instability, concussion, stress fractures, female overuse injuries, and more. - Considers prevention strategies, nutritional recommendations, as well as exercise recommendations for women during pregnancy.

Synopsis The Young Female Athlete by : Cynthia J. Stein
Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach and drawing on the experience of experts in their respective fields, this unique book presents and discusses an array of topics relevant to the ever-growing population of pediatric, adolescent and young adult female athletes. Each topic is clearly defined and includes epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and future directions. Opening chapters discuss growth and development, sports nutrition, resistance training, and psychological considerations for the young female athlete, with a chapter focusing on the female athlete triad. Later chapters present injuries and management strategies common to the young female athlete, such as overuse injuries, spondylolysis, hip and ACL injuries, concussion, and cardiovascular complications. The concluding chapter considers the benefits of physical activity for chronic disease prevention later in life. The Young Female Athlete provides useful, up-to-date information for any practitioner treating this active population, encouraging sports participation with fitness, injury prevention, personal growth, and long-term health.

Synopsis Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in the Female Athlete by : Karen Ocwieja
"Female athletes have become the poster children for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in recent years. This has lead to increased attention from research. There is now a vast amount of articles about ACL injuries and the library keeps growing. The purpose of this thesis is to review the current literature on ACL injury related to etiology, pathology and prevention. Through my research an additional topic arose. This is highlighted in a further section, psychosocial factors. Original research was conducted to gain a preliminary look at how playing multiple sports at one time, or specializing in one sport in high school, affects injury rates and what was the greatest influence on the decision to play club sports. The results from the literature review revealed that valgus stress at the knee and the imbalance between the force couple of the hamstrings and quadriceps are the most responsive to correction through training. The research supports that by correcting those two etiological risk factors female athletes can reduce their risk for ACL injury. Additional research is needed to look at how psychosocial factors [are] related to ACL injuries"--Abstract.

Synopsis Torn by : Joy Werner
Torn is the story of author Joy Werner's struggle with two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries over the course of 24 months. ACL tears are serious knee injuries that plague youth sport, particularly young female athletes, and this book describes the long journeys of healing that the injuries demand, including the emotional and mental challenges. The personal perspective is supported by general information about the ACL, ACL injuries, and treatment. Torn is not only a guide but a real-world tale of what a young athlete had to endure and overcome when confronted with ACL injuries. It will be helpful to the thousands of young people and their families who face this trauma each year.

Synopsis ACL Injuries in Female Athletes by : Brooke Chandor
Around 400,000 people tear their anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) every year in the United States. The majority of these injuries occur during athletics, and most commonly to females. Their neuromuscular abilities, anatomies, and hormones put female athletes at a much higher risk of ACL injury than male athletes. The current gold standard of treatment, ACL reconstruction, is an imperfect technique at best. It leaves patients with much higher risk of both ACL reinjury and early onset of osteoarthritis. Prevention programs, aimed at reducing the neuromuscular risk factors in female athletes, have proved to effectively reduce the number of noncontact ACL injuries in many studies since the late 1990s. Despite their demonstrated success, ACL prevention programs are not commonplace in high school and collegiate athletics today. It is the responsibility of the athletes, parents, and coaches to educate themselves on the elevated risks of ACL injuries for female athletes. Furthermore, coaches, athletic trainers, and athletic directors must work together to create and implement ACL prevention programs specifically tailored to their sports teams' needs to eliminate this painful and detrimental commonality in today's female athletics. With the dedication to spreading knowledge about ACL injuries and implementing prevention programs, the number of ACL injuries in female athletes will undoubtedly decrease.
