How do you measure anterior laxity of the knee?
|
|
A machine called a KT2000 arthrometer is used. The machine can be set to output a certain amount of force (in this study 134 Newtons, which is about 30 lbs. of force). It slides the tibia (lower leg bone) forward in the knee joint and measures the amount of movement.
