Female Fource
Females are 3-8 times more likely to sustain an ACL tear than males.
In addition, over 70% of all ACL injuries occur during non-contact activities,
such as cutting, jumping and twisting maneuvers. Biomechanics is one factor
contributing to the high ACL injury rate in females. Females tend to perform
cutting and landing maneuvers with their knees and hips in an extended
and less protected position. DonJoy’s Custom and Off-The-Shelf Female
Fource addresses knee flexion angles in relation to jumping and cutting
maneuvers and provides the protection females need in a sleek, low profile
and aesthetically pleasing design.
