Physiologic levels of valgus torque applied to the simulation model (Adopted from an in vivo study of a 90° lateral sidestep run-to-cut maneuver; Chaudhari et al., 2003). Among 21 subjects, most of the female participants (67%) showed valgus dynamic alignment while most of men (78%) showed neutral or varus alignment. Thus, four physiologic levels of valgus moment were determined as follows:
Type | Peak valgus moment [Nm] |
---|---|
Minimum valgus moment of neutral landers | 0 |
Average valgus moment of neutral landers | 8 |
Average valgus moment of valgus landers | 24 |
Maximum valgus moment of valgus landers | 51 |
