The Effect of Knee Braces on Tibial Rotation in Anterior Cruciate Ligament–Deficient Knees During High-Demand Athletic Activities

Abstract

Bracing decreased the excessive tibial rotation in ACL-deficient patients during high-demand activities but failed to fully restore normative values. If knee braces can enhance rotational knee stability in ACL-deficient patients, then they could possibly play an important role in preventing further knee pathology in such patients.
