Effects of modifiable footwear features on anterior cruciate ligament force in young females during a drop-lateral-jump task.

Key Points

• The study investigates how different footwear features affect ACL force during jump tasks in young females.
• Compared ACL forces under various shoe pitch conditions during a drop-lateral-jump task.
• Analyzed time-to-peak force and peak force metrics across footwear variants.
• Delayed time-to-peak ACL force observed with a 4mm shoe pitch condition.
• No significant differences in peak ACL force across different shoe pitches.
