Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objectives are to describe the anterior-posterior translation, internal-external rotation and medial-lateral translation as a function of flexion and knee state (intact contralateral control, ACL deficient, ACL reconstructed with LET, and ACL reconstructed without LET). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives are to determine the patient subjective outcomes using validated and reliable questionnaires (IKDC, KOOS, Tegner questionnaire and anchor questions).   | — |
