Footwear and ACL injury risk

At least two studies suggested that shorter cleat length was associated with a reduced risk of knee and ankle injuries (Lambson et al, 1996; Robey et al, 1971).

The shoe to surface interface has been strongly correlated with ACL injury (Pope, 2002) such that rubber matting, in combination with rubber-soled shoes was a direct cause of ACL injuries in Australia military recruits. It has also been suggested that such interfaces may indirectly increase risk via changing human movement factors (Letha et al, 2006)
