Anterior cruciate ligament deficiency reduces walking economy in “copers” and “non-copers”
2017
Purpose
Patients with ACL injury requiring surgical treatment (non-copers) demonstrate altered neuromuscular control and gait pattern compared with those returning to their pre-injury activities without surgery (copers). Pathological gait pattern may increase the energy cost of walking. We compared the energy cost of flat, uphill, and downhill walking between ACL-deficient and healthy individuals and between “copers” and “non-copers”.
