Dynamic knee joint mechanics after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

There is a scarcity of information on the long term adaptations in lower limb biomechanics during game specific movements after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Particularly, variables such as knee abduction moments and transverse plane knee motion have not been studied during a game specific landing and cutting task after ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to compare the hip and knee mechanics between the ACL reconstructed (ACLr) group and a healthy control group.
