Abstract
Purpose: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury substantially increases the risk for developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). While ACL reconstruction (ACLR) surgery is successful at stabilizing the knee, abnormal gait mechanics may develop and persist, establishing altered loading conditions that contribute to the development of OA. Increased knee adduction moment (KAM) in individuals 2 years following ACLR has been associated with increased cartilage matrix degeneration and reduced patient reported outcomes (PRO).
