		<description><![CDATA[Female athletes are particularly susceptible to anterior knee pain and injury to their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This increased risk is thought to result from poor dynamic control of the hip and knee, particularly when the foot hits the ground. The inability to control hip adduction, knee valgus, and internal rotation in the transition from&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anterior knee pain is often associated with hip muscle weakness of the abductors, extensors and external rotators. Dr. Vladimir Janda noted these muscles were particularly susceptible to inhibition and weakness. Hip weakness is particularly prevalent in females with anterior knee pain. This hip weakness is thought to result in abnormal forces occurring at the knee&#8230;]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>In a recent blog post, I wrote about Tim Tyler&#8217;s research presentation on EMG of the gastroc-soleus during Achilles tendon rehab exercises. The study was published in the November issue of Sports Health. Just to re-cap, here&#8217;s what the researchers found:



Seated toe raise : 11%


Single-leg balance on Wobble Board : 25%
Prone ankle pumps : 38%
Plantar flexion with red Thera-Band exercise band : 45%
Walking : 47%
Lateral Step-up : 60%
Single leg heel raise : 112%
Single leg jump : 112%
