P039 Three-dimensional evaluation of knee function in anterior cruciate ligament-deficient and reconstructed knee

Abstract

s of the 17th Annual Meeting of ESMAC, Poster Presentations / Gait & Posture 28S (2008) S49–S118 S73 pelvis and trunk were assessed at eight instances during the gait cycle, representing initial contact, loading response, mid stance, terminal stance, preswing, initial swing, mid swing and terminal swing. To determine intraand interrater reliability, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), the Standard Error of Measurements (SEM) and the Smallest Detectable Difference (SDD) were calculated for each joint and for each phase of the gait cycle. Results: Intrarater reliability was good for the tibia, ankle, knee and pelvis and moderate to good for the trunk. Interrater reliability was good for the tibia, ankle and knee, moderate to good for the hip and pelvis and moderate for the trunk. All angles could be measured with errors (SEM/SDD) ranging from 0.7−6.8 degrees/1.8−18.8 degrees (see table 1).
