One Penn volleyball player had many force plate scans over her career. We found that her musculoskeletal (MSK) health score decreased steadily over her career – the score was developed to assess susceptibility to injury where a lower MSK health score is a proposed indicator of greater injury risk. Interestingly, that MSK health score was significantly lower than her average on the day before she sustained a non-contact ankle injury. Also the day before her injury, the “Explode” score increased by approximately 15 points which is a large increase.
