Associations between single-leg postural control and drop-landing mechanics in healthy women.

Context: Impaired postural control in single-limb stance and aberrant drop-landing mechanics have been implicated separately as risk factors for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, but associations between these variables has not been reported.

Objective: To determine whether there are associations between single-limb postural control and drop-landing mechanics.

Setting: University motion-analysis laboratory.
