Evaluating the risk of knee osteoarthritis following unilateral ACL reconstruction based on an EMG-assisted method.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) cannot decrease the risk of knee osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament rupture, and tibial contact force is associated with the development of knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to compare the difference in bilateral tibial contact force for patients with unilateral ACLR during walking and jogging based on an EMG-assisted method in order to evaluate the risk of knee osteoarthritis following unilateral ACLR. Methods: Seven unilateral ACLR patients participated in experiments. The 14-camera motion capture system, 3-Dimension force plate, and wireless EMG test system were used to collect the participants' kinematics, kinetics, and EMG data during walking and jogging. A personalized neuromusculo
