KT-1000 measurement of the anteroposterior load-displacement response of the knee. The anteriorposterior directed loads applied to the tibia, relative to the immobilized femur, are plotted on the vertical axis, and the resulting anteroposterior displacement of the tibia relative to the femur appears on the horizontal axis. The horizontal dashed lines identify the load limits of 130 N (anterior-directed load applied to the tibia) and −90 N (posterior-directed load applied to the tibia). These data were analyzed to evaluate anteroposterior laxity of the knee (the total tibiofemoral displacement produced by the 130 N anterior and −90 N posterior loads) and anterior and posterior stiffness of the knee (the slopes of the liner portion of the load-displacement response of the knee).
