结局指标
主要结局
Proprioception determined using the reposition error
时间窗: 5 minutes
Proprioception will be determined by measuring the reposition error of the knee joint. The subject will be instructed to position the knee joint to a position (flexion) previously set by the experimenter at 30 degree flexion. The difference will be calculated as the reposition error. The position of the knee joint will be measure using a goniometer. An alternative is to use an App (e.g. Angle Meter) on a smart phone or an iPad for accuracy.
