A. Completed nomogram for a representative subject with the following clinically feasible measurements quantified on her left leg: Tibia length: 36 cm; Knee valgus motion: 3.3 cm; Knee flexion ROM: 63.4°; mass: 57.2 kg; QuadHam: 1.78). Based on her demonstrated measurements, the prediction nomogram would indicate that this subject would have a 45% percent chance to demonstrate high KAM during her measured drop vertical jump.

B. Completed nomogram for the same subject with the following clinic-based measurement of knee valgus motion on her right leg. The red solid lines indicate the shift in her measured knee valgus motion from 3.3 cm on her left leg to 6.0 cm or her right. Accordingly, this change in knee valgus motion shifts her probability of high knee load on her right leg to be 66% during this trial of the drop vertical jump.
