STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the distribution of those with and without dynamic knee stability after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture differs by age, gender, and contact versus noncontact injury mechanisms.BACKGROUND: There is a differential return to preinjury activities after ACL rupture. It is unknown if there are specific patient groups that are more or less likely to experience good dynamic knee stability after ACL rupture.METHODS AND MEASURES: The study sample consisted of 345 consecutive, highly active patients with complete, isolated ACL insufficiency. Based on the results of a screening examination, patients were categorized as having either good (potential coper) or poor (noncoper) dynamic knee stability. Descriptive and chi-square statistics were calculated to describe patient characteristics and identify the proportion of potential copers and noncopers based on age, gender, and injury mechanism.RESULTS: The groups with the greatest proportion of noncopers were women (P =.002), mid-aged adults (35-44 years) (P
