ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Comparison of knee flexor strength limb symmetry index (LSI) between the NordBord-test and the Biodex-test, and to determine the relationship between knee flexor strength and function in patients 2 and 5 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) with hamstring tendon (HT) autografts.DESIGN:
Observational registry study.SETTING:
Primary care. PATIENTS Cross-sectional data from 96 patients (55% women) participating in a rehabilitation-registry after ACL-R with HT autografts. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Comparison of knee flexor strength symmetry between the Biodex-test and the NordBord-test. Secondly, the relationship between knee flexor strength test and perceived knee function, activity level, and hop performance.RESULTS:
The NordBord-test demonstrated greater strength deficits compared to the Biodex-test with a mean difference of 12.5% ± 15.1% 95 % CI [8.1; 16.9%] at 2 years, and 11.1% ± 11.9% 95 % CI [7.7; 14.6 %] at 5 years after ACL-R. Relative concentric knee flexor strength (Nm/kg) in the Biodex demonstrated significant weak-to-moderate correlations with activity level and hop performance (r = 0.33-0.67) at 2 and 5 years.CONCLUSION:
The NordBord-test identified deficits in knee flexor strength LSI not seen with the Biodex-test at 2 and 5 years after ACL-R. No significant correlations were found between the persistent knee flexor strength asymmetry and perceived function, activity level or hop performance.Palavras-chave
