We are seeing a growing
number of knee injuries in female athletes as females play sports that are more
aggressive and require more turning, twisting and changing. The actual injuries
can occur, and when they occur, it can cause problems with strength and flexibility.
One of the issues is a woman has more joint laxity. As a result, when she moves
or shifts, there actually can be a shift in increased pressure on the tendons
and ligaments. With that pressure can come stretching and ultimately knee
injuries.
We always appreciate your
comments.
