Abstract

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common sport injuries. This study attempts to investigate the effect of neuromuscular training on postural stability and performance of lower extremity in females with ligament dominance.
Methods: 24 subjects at risk of ACL injuries selected and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was undergoing to six-weeks of neuromuscular training program.
Result: The results showed significant differences in lateral center of pressure and performance in experimental group. while no significant difference was observed in control group. Conclusion: The result showed that six weeks of neuromuscular training may improve the COP and performance of women with ligament dominance.
