Table 5 Evaluation of positive results (exceeded statistical, clinical, and methodological thresholds) in functional performance

From: Functional leg performance 2 years after ACL surgery: a comparison between InternalBrace™-augmented repair versus reconstruction versus healthy controls

 

(I) SSD within groups

(II) Involved leg (patient) versus non-dominant leg (controls)

ACL-IB: involved versus uninvolved

ACL-R: involved versus uninvolved

Controls: non-dominant versus dominanta

ACL-IB versus controls

ACL-R versus controls

  1. ACL-IB anterior cruciate ligament repair and InternalBrace™ augmentation after proximal ruptures, ACL-R anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
  2. *Only patients who passed hop pretests and completed hop tests with both legs were included in this analysis
  3. No, small, moderate, or strong differences indicate that 0, 1, 2, or all 3 thresholds were exceeded in the respective parameter
