Abstract
Abstract This study was to determine the relative effects of varying degrees of mobilization on the ligaments of the knee, with particular reference to resistance to tearing under imposed stress. Four groups of female white rats of the Wistar strain of experimental stock were subjected to varying degrees of mobilization. One group was confined in small, individual cubicles that restricted opportunities for movement. One group was allowed to roam at will in a large pen. The third group was exercised for 15 min. a day, 5 times a week, for a 5-week period, in a rotating exercise drum. The fourth group was similarly exercised in a drum with an uneven surface. Results showed that there was a direct relationship between ligament strength, as measured in this experiment, and the degree of mobilization of the knee joint evidenced in the four exercise programs.
