Abstract: The article presents a study to determine the approximate entropy (ApEn) of stride-to-stride intervals in individuals who experienced anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. ApEn has been employed to determine the regularity of continuous gait dynamics of healthy individuals compared to ACL-injured or ACL-reconstructed subjects through the evaluation of knee kinematics. It cites ACL as the knee ligament most prone to tear that results in reduced knee stability.
