Comparison of Limb Loading Characteristics and Subjective Functional Outcomes Between Sexes Following ACLR

CONCLUSION: Individuals approximately five months following ACLR, on average, offloaded their ACLR limb compared to the contralateral limb. Patients' tendency to offload their weight during a squat was influenced by sex. Relationships between limb loading metrics and PROs indicate patients who load their limbs disproportionately have a lower perception in their capability to complete activities of daily living and lower subjective knee function.PMID:38629487 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0534.23
