Characterizing knee loading asymmetry in individuals following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using inertial sensors

Highlights • Difficulty identifying knee loading deficit may underline their persistence. • Altered knee loading is related to altered heel rocker mechanics during gait. • Shank angular velocity plays an important role in calculating knee extensor moment. • Angular velocity between-limb ratios predi...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • Difficulty identifying knee loading deficit may underline their persistence. • Altered knee loading is related to altered heel rocker mechanics during gait. • Shank angular velocity plays an important role in calculating knee extensor moment. • Angular velocity between-limb ratios predict knee extensor moment deficits. • Wearable sensor gyroscopes detect gait impairments following ACL reconstruction.
