ACL injury prevention programs significantly reduce the risk of knee injuries in young female athletes under eighteen years old.  The Exercise-Based Knee and ACL Injury Prevention Guidelines developed by the Academy of Orthopedic Physical Therapy and the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy emphasize structured exercise programs incorporating neuromuscular training, plyometrics, strength training, and proximal control exercises.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC, 2024), falls are the most common injury for adults over 65. Approximately 14 million people, or 1 in 4 adults, report falling yearly. One in five adults that do fall experience broken bones or head trauma.  Injuries, including fall-related hip fractures, lead to over 300,000 hospital admissions a year.
