Brief Summary
This study will identify the most optimal, focused approach for biofeedback in adolescent females at high risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. A six-week randomized, pre/post-testing design will be used to identify biofeedback training effects. The investigators will also determine the effects of hip strategy on retention of decreased knee abduction load with focused biofeedback. A six-month follow-up design will be used to test retention of real-time biofeedback intervention.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Knee abduction load
Knee abduction load will be the primary outcome measure. This is assessed with three-dimensional motion analysis techniques and a detailed full-body biomechanical model during dynamic landing tasks immediately before and after 6 weeks of the study intervention. The unit of measure for knee abduction load is Nm and will be normalized to participant mass when appropriate.
