Using multinomial logistic regression, we then examined associations between the different laxity profile clusters and physical characteristics of sex, age, activity level, general joint laxity, body mass index, thigh strength, and 8 measures of lower extremity anatomical alignment.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>Six clusters were identified: low (LOW), moderate (MOD) and high (HIGH) laxity overall and disproportionally higher VV\/IER (MOD<jats:sub>VV\/IER<\/jats:sub>), GR (HIGH<jats:sub>GR<\/jats:sub>), and AKL (HIGH<jats:sub>AKL<\/jats:sub>) laxity.
