Biomechanical asymmetries in multiligament knee patients at long term

Description

The purpose of the present study was to assess the lower limb biomechanics during daily life activities in a wide cohort of patient’s undergoing surgical treatment for MLKI at long term-follow-up.

Biomechanical asymmetries are identifiable in MLKI patients at almost 8 years follow-up during daily life activities. These patterns could indicate the presence of kinematic compensations that might lead to abnormal distribution of joint load. Wearable sensors might be a practical and useful solution to identify aberrant biomechanics in dynamic conditions through patient-specific analyses in different phases of MLKI rehab.
