Drop-Jump Landing Varies With Baseline Neurocognition: Implications for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk and Prevention

Conclusion: Healthy athletes with lower baseline neurocognitive performance generate knee kinematic and kinetic patterns that are linked to ACL injury. Clinical Relevance: Neurocognitive testing using the CRI may be useful for identification of athletes at elevated risk for future ACL injury.
