Six degrees-of-freedom kinematics of ACL deficient knees during locomotion—compensatory mechanism

The purpose of the study was to investigate six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) kinematic changes in anterior cruciate ligament ACL-deficient knees during locomotion and the possible compensatory mechanism involved. Compared with healthy subjects, ACL-deficient patients walked with increased tibial externa...

Zusammenfassung:	The purpose of the study was to investigate six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) kinematic changes in anterior cruciate ligament ACL-deficient knees during locomotion and the possible compensatory mechanism involved. Compared with healthy subjects, ACL-deficient patients walked with increased tibial external rotation throughout most of the stride and increased tibial abduction at the heel contact, and the tibia was more anterior during swing phase ( P
