چکیده
etiology of the ACL. To provide the data for testing this hypothesis, liquid mercury M. L. Hull 1 strain gages were installed on both the anteromedial (AMB) and posterolateral Professor of Mechanical Engineering (PLB) bundles of the ACL of ten specimens, which were then subjected to passive and Chair of Biomedical Engineering, flexion/extension, hyperextension moment, anterior force, internal and external axial Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California, moments, quadriceps, and hamstrings forces. Various combinations of these loads Davis, CA 95616 were also applied. Flexion angles ranged from 8 deg of hyperextension through 120 deg offlexion. The data were analyzed using a repeated measures analysis ofvariance.

Fluoroscopic analysis of anterior tibial translation during eccentric and concentric phase of knee rehabilitation exercises in men with anterior cruciate ligament injury
Background: The amount of anterior tibial translation during rehabilitation exercises is a key factor in organizing exercise regimen after anterior cruciate ligament injury. Excessive anterior tibial translation could increase the magnitude of tension imposed on injured and reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament knees. Forward lunge and open-kinetic knee extension exercises are commonly used ...

متن کاملChange in meniscal strain with anterior cruciate ligament injury and after reconstruction.
Meniscal injury has been well documented in association with injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of anterior cruciate ligament transection and reconstruction on meniscal strain. Four differential variable reluctance transducer strain gauges were placed in the medial and lateral menisci of nine cadaveric knees. Each specimen was mounted ...
