  1. Differences in transverse knee moment in healthy, ACL-deficient, and ACL-reconstructed patients during standing target matching

    Lanier, AmeliaUniversity of Delaware2012

    Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common injury affecting nearly 250,000 Americans a year (Boden et al. 2000). Reconstructive surgery costs add up to approximately $1.5 billion annually not including initial evaluation or post-operative rehabilitation (Boden et al. 2000). The anterior …
