Quadriceps weakness is associated with gait kinetic deficits in individuals with acute acl-reconstruction

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
The association between asymmetries in quadriceps strength and ground reaction forces (GRF) during gait was evaluated in 11 individuals with acute anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R). Results indicate quadriceps weakness is associated with reduced GRF acutely following surgery. Restoration of quadriceps strength symmetry may improve vertical and posterior GRF and reduce knee joint degeneration.
