Abstract
A population-based hierarchy in functional muscle roles was discovered. Healthy males demonstrated the most specific muscle roles, which can be viewed as more adaptive to variable loading conditions. The more generalised stabilisation strategies seen in injured males and females would alter joint loading which may be detrimental to the knee joint health over time. In summary, (1) these injuries alter muscle roles; (2) these alterations are sex-specific; (3) rehabilitation might be optimised if sex-differences are considered.
