BACKGROUND: A double-leg landing with or without a subsequent jump is commonly used to evaluate the neuromuscular control of knee abduction. However, the differences in frontal plane knee biomechanics between landings with and without a subsequent jump are not well known. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a subsequent jump on knee abduction, including during the early landing phase, in female and male subjects. METHODS: Twenty-one female subjects and 21 male subjects participated. All subjects performed drop landing task (a landing without a subsequent jump) and drop vertical jump task (a landing with a subsequent jump). The subjects landed from a 30-cm height. In drop vertical jump, the subjects also performed a maximum vertical jump immediately after landing. The knee abduction angle and moment were analyzed using a 3D motion analysis system. A two-way analysis of variance (task × time) was performed to examine the effects of a subsequent jump on the knee abduction angle during the early landing phase in female and male subjects. Another two-way analysis of variance (task × sex) was performed to compare peak knee abduction angles and moments. RESULTS: In female subjects, the knee abduction angle was significantly greater during drop vertical jump than during drop landing, as measured 45 to 80 ms after initial contact (P < 0.05). Significant task-dependent effects in the peak knee abduction angle (P = 0.001) and the abduction moment (P = 0.029) were detected. The peak knee abduction angle and the abduction moment were greater during drop vertical jump than during drop landing. CONCLUSIONS: Subsequent jumps cause greater knee abduction during the early landing phase only in female subjects. This finding may relate to the sex discrepancy in non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Additionally, the presence of a subsequent jump significantly increases the peak knee abduction angle and the peak knee abduction moment during landings. Therefore, compared with a landing task without a subsequent jump (drop landing), a landing task with a subsequent jump (drop vertical jump) may be advantageous for screening for knee abduction control, especially in female athletes.
