In vivo kinematics of the ACL-deficient limb during running and cutting.

Journal article

Anterior cruciate ligament-deficient (ACLD) knee kinematics during high-demand activities are poorly understood. We have devised a new method, using gait analysis, to more accurately assess 3-D in vivo kinematics of the knee. This has enabled us to report on how knee kinematics are altered after ACL rupture, during running and cutting. Fifteen unilaterally ACLD subjects were assessed using a 12-camera 100 Hz VICON motion analysis system. Simultaneous electromyographical (EMG) recordings were ...
