Abstract
- Objective Knee kinematic asymmetries after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are correlated with poor clinical outcomes, such as the progression of knee cartilage degenerations or reinjuries. Fast walking in patients with knee conditions may exacerbate knee kinematic asymmetries, but its impact on ACLR patients is uncertain. The aim of this study is to investigate if fast walking induces more knee kinematic asymmetries in unilateral ACLR patients. Methods This cross‐sectional study enrolled 55 patients with unilateral ACLR from January 2020 to July 2022. There were 48 males and seven females with an average age of 30.6 ± 6.4 years. Knee kinematic data were collected at three walking speeds: self‐selected, fast (150% normal), and slow (50% normal). A 3D knee kinematic analysis system measured the data, and self‐reported outcomes assessed comfort levels during walking. We used SPM1D for two‐way repeated ANOVA and posthoc paired t‐tests to analyze kinematic differences in groups. Results In fast walking, ACLR knees exhibited more transverse kinematic asymmetries than intact knees, including greater external rotation angle (1.8°, 38%–43%; gait cycle [GC], p
