Abstract

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the most common sport injury. Surgery is often proposed, but single-leg and double-leg static postural disorders have been discovered several months after surgery. Our aims are to compare postural disorders after ligament reconstruction by hamstring tendon graft in the 3 months after surgery to those caused by aging.
Materials and Method: 2 groups of subjects underwent bilateral and unilateral postural tests. An analysis of the centre of pressure’s displacement is carried out for each test.
Results: Comparaison of the two groups shows no significant difference for the injured leg on the unilateral and bilateral tests only.
Conclusion: Postural alteration after ACL reconstruction on the injured leg and on bilateral posture can be compared to postural disorders caused by age.
