Runners should also make sure they are wearing proper sneakers, Dr. Gardner, noting the high rate of ankle sprains, stress fractures, and plantar fasciitis among females. She suggests strengthening the ankle and lower leg with wobble boards and calf raises, in addition to considering the shoes worn every day and for exercise.
For example, if someone has extremely flat or high arches that appear to lead to imbalances, she may want to choose a shoe that best addresses those issues or try a corrective shoe insert. Symptoms include pain and stiffness in the front and around the kneecap that make it difficult to climb stairs, squat, kneel, or do other everyday activities. A number of factors can contribute to patellofemoral pain syndrome, including overuse, Dr.
Smith says. As a child active in various sports, Dr. Smith was treated by a knee specialist who taught her proper strengthening activities that she was able to get rid of her knee pain. Now, she wants to share the same practices with her patients and get them back to doing what they enjoy. If someone is too sore to start physical therapy—maybe because of inflammation in their knee—Dr. Smith says she may first do a steroid injection to calm it down. Smith explains.
In cases where there is no inflammation, just pain, Dr. Smith says she will prescribe home exercises for a patient, or, if needed, physical therapy to work on balancing muscle strength and flexibility. The hips are often forgotten, but the muscles that stabilize them are pretty small and not activated by normal exercises.

This can cause a female to rely more on her quadriceps during movements. When this happens, the knees place an additional stress on the ACL in order to compensate for the lack of hamstring strength. This can make an ACL injury more likely to occur. Flat-footed Landings: Various studies have revealed that females typically jump and land with the soles of the feet instead of landing on the balls of the feet.
Due to the landing flat-footed, the knee has to absorb most of the shock, making ACL injuries more likely to occur. Running Upright: Studies reveal that females tend to run in a more upright position than males, giving them less control over how their knee rotates, mainly during sudden landings or movements.
Lax Ligaments- A female body also has more elastic ligaments than males. This high flexibility makes the ACL more likely to be stretched and twisted and have an injury. Signs and symptoms of an ACL injury may vary from individual to individual. Some may have severe pain or swelling while others may have just mild symptoms after an ACL injury.
So, it is important to visit an orthopedic surgeon if you think you have torn your ACL or have one or more of the following symptoms-. The treatment for an ACL tear remains the same for both males and females. The suitable treatment option for an individual depends on the severity and grade of the ACL injury.
