ACL deficiency links to reduced gait variability; hypothesis-generating for compensatory control and prospective links to instability or OA.
Does ACL deficiency affect stride-to-stride variability during walking compared to healthy controls?
ACL deficiency leads to decreased stride-to-stride variability and system complexity during walking, which may relate to future pathology.
Moraiti et al. (2007) studied this question.
