The influence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on accelerometric gait analysis
Journal Title: Rehabilitacja Medyczna - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
ACL injuries – next to damage to the collateral ligaments, menisci of the knee – are the most common injuries of the knee joint and very often require surgical treatment. The main aim of the treatment is to restore normal gait pattern. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of reconstructed ACL on selected gait parameters by using an accelerometer system.<br/><br/>The study involved 34 people aged 18-54 who were divided in two groups. The first group consisted of 20 people after ACL reconstruction, aged 19-54 years old (mean 29). The second group consisted of 14 healthy people between the age of 18-45 (mean 25.36). Gait analysis in normal and fast rate was performed using the CQMotion Electronik System, MEMS type.<br/><br/>Differences in the results were observed in the first group. In 75% of people during normal walking and in 95% during fast walking, a 5% difference between the healthy limb and the limb after ACL reconstruction was observed. The gait rate had influence on acceleration value which was observed in RMS values in both of the groups. The RMS value was different, depending on the gait rate.<br/><br/>Accelerometric gait analysis shows that the differences in comparing rate values between limbs are not so great, however, the gait pace has influence on some gait parameters. parameters.<br/><br/>
