The Effect of Arch Drop on Tibial Rotation and Tibiofemoral Contact Stress in Postpartum Women
ConclusionsArch drop causes internal tibial rotation, resulting in a shift in the tibiofemoral articulation. An associated increase in contact stress was not detected. Internal rotation of the tibia increases stress on the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci, potentially explaining the greater prevalence of knee disorders in postpartum women.
