Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are more prevalent in female athletes than in male athletes. Basketball is a high-risk sport for anterior cruciate ligament injury in female athletes. This study was conducted to observe the effect of a foot orthosis on the knee ligament injury rate in female basketball players at one US university.
One hundred fifty-five players on the women's basketball team were observed for knee ligament injury from 1992 to 2005. Athletes in the 1992-1993 to 1995-1996 school years (July-June) did not receive a foot orthosis and served as the control group; the treatment group comprised the athletes during the 1996-1997 to 2004-2005 school years (July-June). Athletes in the treatment group received a foot orthosis before participating in basketball. Data analysis included knee ligament injury rates and a comparison of injury rates with an incidence density ratio.
Athletes in the control group had three collateral ligament injuries and three anterior cruciate ligament injuries, for an injury rate of 0.50 for both the anterior cruciate ligament and collateral ligaments. Athletes in the treatment group had four collateral ligament injuries and one anterior cruciate ligament injury, for an injury rate of 0.29 for the collateral ligaments and 0.07 for the anterior cruciate ligament. Athletes in the control group were 1.72 times more likely to sustain a collateral ligament injury and 7.14 times more likely to sustain an anterior cruciate ligament injury than the treatment group.
Foot orthoses may contribute to a decreased knee ligament injury rate in female collegiate basketball players.
前交叉韧带损伤在女运动员中比男运动员更普遍。篮球是女运动员前交叉韧带损伤的高风险运动。本研究旨在观察足部矫形器对美国一所大学女篮球运动员膝关节韧带损伤率的影响。
观察了1992年至2005年期间155名女子篮球队队员的膝关节韧带损伤情况。1992 - 1993学年至1995 - 1996学年（7月至6月）的运动员未佩戴足部矫形器，作为对照组；治疗组包括1996 - 1997学年至2004 - 2005学年（7月至6月）的运动员。治疗组的运动员在参加篮球运动前佩戴足部矫形器。数据分析包括膝关节韧带损伤率以及损伤率与发病密度比的比较。
对照组运动员有3例侧副韧带损伤和3例前交叉韧带损伤，前交叉韧带和侧副韧带的损伤率均为0.50。治疗组运动员有4例侧副韧带损伤和1例前交叉韧带损伤，侧副韧带损伤率为0.29，前交叉韧带损伤率为0.07。对照组运动员发生侧副韧带损伤的可能性是治疗组的1.72倍，发生前交叉韧带损伤的可能性是治疗组的7.14倍。
足部矫形器可能有助于降低女大学生篮球运动员的膝关节韧带损伤率。
