Abstract des Autors
The standing balance of 11 functionally stable and 15 functionally unstable knees in patients with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient joints was studied by means of stabilometry. All the patients had participated in sports on a competitive level before injury, and functional stability was defined as full return, without giving way, to the same sport at the same level as before injury. Forty physically active volunteers were studied as the reference group. When compared with the reference group, an impaired standing balance was found in the functionally unstable patients but not in the functionally stable patients. The results indicate that stabilometry is a useful method for evaluating knee functional instability objectively in competitive athletes with chronic ACL-deficient knees. Verf.-Referat
