Brief Summary

Absolute range of motion at the knee joint was comparable between affected and unaffected sides for both groups. AKAs showed greater thigh acceleration, stronger thigh as well as leg movement forces on the affected side compared to the unaffected side while KRPs exhibited greater acceleration stronger thigh force on the normal thigh compared to the post-operative thigh. MSTS scores were not significantly different.
