Abstract
This study aims to find out the standardized test criteria regarding patients with the anterior cruciate ligament damage by identifying the degree of the flexion gap of femur and tibia upon bending of the anterior cruciate ligament in order to carry out the accurate test of such impairment. On the standardized test method and judgement criteria upon the anterior cruciate ligament test using Telos, it has been shown that there was no significant difference in the results according to the position of a fixed roller in the anterior cruciate ligament test for normal patients. However, in a test for patients who had undergone the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, it has been shown that the measured values of the anterior cruciate ligament tended to be pushed when the position of a fixed roller was less than 1cm in the test according to the position of a fixed roller of Telos (less than 1cm, more than 3cm), and this was statistically significant. The anterior cruciate ligament test (knee stress test) is a limited method used in orthopedics and rehabilitation medicine, and there have been no standardized test guidelines available yet although numerous ligament measurement tests have been performed. In addition, since the measured values are often different depending on testers even on the test that is expected to give the same result, the reproducibility of the test is still low. Accordingly, it is considered that the criteria for the anterior cruciate ligament test need to be established, and this would contribute to the accuracy of the diagnosis through the accurate test and standardized measurements.
