Changes in lower limb joint coordination have been shown to increase localized stress on knee joint soft tissue—a known precursor of osteoarthritis. While 50 % of individuals who undergo anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) develop radiographic osteoarthritis, it is unclear how underlying joint coordination during gait changes post-ACLR. The purpose of this study was twofold: to determine differences in lower limb coordination patterns during gait in ACLR individuals 2, 4, and 6 months post-ACLR and to compare the coordination profiles of the ACLR participants at each timepoint post-ACLR to uninjured matched controls.

前十字韧带重建后的下肢协调模式：纵向研究


下肢关节协调性的变化已被证明会增加膝关节软组织的局部压力——这是骨关节炎的已知前兆。虽然接受前交叉韧带重建 (ACLR) 的患者中有 50% 会出现放射骨关节炎，但目前尚不清楚在 ACLR 后步态过程中潜在的关节协调性如何发生变化。本研究的目的有两个：确定 ACLR 个体在 ACLR 后 2、4 和 6 个月的步态期间下肢协调模式的差异，并比较 ACLR 参与者在 ACLR 后每个时间点与未受伤的匹配参与者的协调情况。控制。
