Significant Publications
- Myer GD, Ford KR, Barber Foss KD, Goodman A, Ceasar A, Rauh MJ, Divine JG, Hewett TE. The incidence and potential pathomechanics of patellofemoral pain in female athletes. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon). 25(7):700-707. Aug, 2010.
- Patellofemoral pain was often thought to be a self-limiting, relatively benign condition. This article examined the pathomechanics of this condition, but more importantly identified that the incidence of PFP was occurring at the middle school level, earlier than previously thought. This fact is important because it shows that intervention programs need to be targeted to younger athletes.
- Myer GD, Faigenbaum AD, Ford KR, Best TM, Bergeron MF, Hewett TE. When to initiate integrative neuromuscular training to reduce sports-related injuries and enhance health in youth?Curr Sports Med Rep. 10(3):157-166. 2011.
- This manuscript was significant because of its fundamental clinical application. It combined the knowledge gained from our previous research on how to identify and classify high risk athletes with practical application of that knowledge to the athletes in need.
- Myer GD, Ford KR, Hewett TE. New method to identify athletes at high risk of ACL injury using clinic-based measurements and freeware computer analysis. Br J Sports Med. Nov 16, 2011.
- This article was tantamount in identifying measures readily available to the clinician to aid in identifying athletes at higher risk of ACL injury. Classification was previously only available through high tech and expensive laboratory equipment. Now, this ground breaking information is available to clinicians across the country. The information presented has far reaching opportunity to aid in reducing ACL injury through proper rick classification.
- Myer GD, Ford KR, Khoury J, Succop P, Hewett TE. Biomechanics laboratory-based prediction algorithm to identify female athletes with high knee loads that increase risk of ACL injury. Br J Sports Med. Jun 17, 2011.
- This article was significant because it provided the foundation to identify those athletes at increased risk of ACL injury. The identification of those athletes at increased risk of ACL injury is crucial to initiate targeted injury prevention training programs. This laboratory based algorithm lead to the development of clinic based prediction tools.
- Myer GD, Ford KR, Khoury J, Succop P, Hewett TE. Development and validation of a clinic-based prediction tool to identify female athletes at high risk for anterior cruciate ligament injury. Am J Sports Med. 38(10):2025-2033. Oct, 2010.
- This manuscript was significant because it led to the development, and more importantly, the validation of a clinical tool to identify athletes at high risk of ACL injury. It determined that the clinic based measures were valid in identification of risk factors.

Significant Accomplishments
Preventing Heart Disease
Nicholas Edwards, MD, MPH, was awarded a Clinical and Translational Science Award KL2 Research Scholars mentored career development award for “Effects of Physical Activity on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Youth.” In the United States, more people die from heart attacks and heart-related illnesses than any other cause. This study will help find the best ways to prevent children from developing heart problems as they grow up.
Division Award and Honors
Mark Paterno, PhD, was named the winner of the 2010 NCAA Research Award from the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine for his work, “Biomechanical Measures During Landing and Postural Stability Predict Second Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury after ACL Reconstruction and Return to Sport.”
Carmen Quatman, MD, and coauthor Laura Schmitt were named as the recipients of the AJSM Systematic Review Award.
Sam Wordeman received the American College of Sports Medicine Biomechanics interest group student research award.
