1.Chronic instability of the knee confirmed by an imaging examination: CT and instability tests performed by an orthopaedist (anterior drawer test, Pivot shift).
2.No other injuries or illnesses that may affect the outcome of the tests (e.g. meniscus injury, degenerative changes in the joints of the leg).
3.A voluntary consent of the patient to participate in the study.
4.The patients had not taken medications affecting motor coordination.
1.Partial damage to the meniscus,
2.Musculoskeletal injuries and diseases that may affect the test results (i.e. meniscus injury, degenerative changes in the joints of the leg),
3.Acute instability of the knee (instability resulting from ACL injury, persisting for 4 weeks after the injury)
