Overview

Retrospective cohort study identifies threshold for anterior reach distance LSI, indicating knee strength asymmetry. Patients falling under cutoff may require targeted rehabilitation strategies.

Key Points

  • A cutoff point of 90% for the anterior reach distance LSI indicates higher risk for strength asymmetry.
  • Sensitivity for the cutoff point was found to be 38.1%, while specificity was 88.9% in predicting strength outcomes.
  • Patients below the cutoff at three months postoperatively are more likely to experience knee extensor strength issues.
  • Data from 90 patients suggest anterior reach distance can guide postoperative rehabilitation planning.
