Higher isokinetic quadriceps peak force is associated with a patient-acceptable symptom-state 1 and 3 years after ACL reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The main purpose was to determine cut-off values for absolute (Q_Nm/kg) and relative (Q_LSI) isokinetic knee extensor (KE) strength for achieving a patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales and for different age groups to determine the association between Q_Nm/kg and Q_LSI and PASS, at 1 and 3 years after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods

PASS was defined as reaching cut-off values for all KOOS subscales. Data from follow-ups were extracted from a rehabilitation registry. Male and female patients were divided into two age groups based on their age at primary ACLR: 16-24 years and 25-65 years. Odds Ratios between the Q_Nm/kg a
