Association between Lower Extremity Muscle Strength and Noncontact ACL Injuries
Steffen, Kathrin; Nilstad, Agnethe; Kristianslund, Eirik Klami; Myklebust, Grethe; Bahr, Roald; Krosshaug, Tron (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Purpose: This study aimed to prospectively investigate the association between isolated and functional lower extremity muscle strength and the risk for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Norwegian female ... -
Injuries and risk factors in elite female football: implications for screening and prevention
Nilstad, Agnethe (Doctoral thesis, 2014)Previous reports have documented that lower extremity injuries account for 60-85% of all timeloss injuries in female football. However, methodological differences have led to significant discrepanies in injury patterns ... -
Kiss goodbye to the ‘kissing knees’: No association between frontal plane inward knee motion and risk of future non-contact ACL injury in elite female athletes
Nilstad, Agnethe; Petushek, Erich; Mok, Kam-Ming; Bahr, Roald; Krosshaug, Tron (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of this study was to investigate if frontal plane knee and hip control in single-leg squats or vertical drop jumps with an overhead target were associated with future non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ... -
No association between static and dynamic postural control and ACL injury risk among female elite handball and football players: a prospective study of 838 players
Steffen, Kathrin; Nilstad, Agnethe; Krosshaug, Tron; Pasanen, Kati; Killingmo, Aleksander; Bahr, Roald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Research on balance measures as potential risk factors for ACL injury is limited. Objective: To assess whether postural control was associated with an increased risk for ACL injuries in female elite handball ... -
Normative Quadriceps and Hamstring Muscle Strength Values for Female, Healthy, Elite Handball and Football Players
Risberg, May Arna; Steffen, Kathrin; Nilstad, Agnethe; Myklebust, Grethe; Kristianslund, Eirik; Moltubakk, Marie M.; Krosshaug, Tron (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This study presents normative values for isokinetic knee extension and flexion muscle strength tests in 350 elite, female, handball (n = 150) and football (n = 200) players. Isokinetic concentric muscle strength tests at ... -
Psychosocial stress factors, including the relationship with the coach, and their influence on acute and overuse injury risk in elite female football players
Pensgaard, Anne Marte; Ivarsson, Andreas; Nilstad, Agnethe; Solstad, Bård Erlend; Steffen, Kathrin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: The relationship between specific types of stressors (eg, teammates, coach) and acute versus overuse injuries is not well understood. Objective: To examine the roles of different types of stressors as well as ... -
Quantifying quadriceps muscle strength in patients with ACL injury, focal cartilage lesions, and degenerative meniscus tears: differences and clinical implications
Eitzen, Ingrid; Grindem, Hege; Nilstad, Agnethe; Moksnes, Håvard; Risberg, May Arna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-11)Background: Reduced quadriceps strength influences knee function and increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis. Thus, it is of significant clinical relevance to precisely quantify strength deficits in patients with knee ... -

Nilstad, Agnethe; Andersen, Thor Einar; Bahr, Roald; Holme, Ingar Morten K.; Steffen, Kathrin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-02-05)Background: The incidence of lower extremity injuries in female soccer players is high, but the risk factors for injuries are unknown. Purpose: To investigate risk factors for lower extremity injuries in elite female ... -
The vertical drop jump Is a poor screening test for ACL injuries in female elite soccer and handball players: a prospective cohort study of 710 athletes
Krosshaug, Tron; Steffen, Kathrin; Kristianslund, Eirik; Nilstad, Agnethe; Mok, Kam-Ming; Myklebust, Grethe; Andersen, Thor Einar; Holme, Ingar Morten K.; Engebretsen, Lars; Bahr, Roald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-04)Background: The evidence linking knee kinematics and kinetics during a vertical drop jump (VDJ) to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk is restricted to a single small sample. Still, the VDJ test continues to be ...
