Proprioception in the cruciate deficient knee



Download PDF

Abstract

Proprioception was measured in the knees of 20 subjects with instability of the anterior cruciate ligament and compared with 17 age-matched control subjects. There was diminished position sense and threshold for movement detection in the injured patients compared with the control group. The proprioceptive deficit recorded from the injured knee showed a significant correlation with the hamstring/quadriceps power ratio recorded from the injured leg.
