title: The anterior cruciate ligament : effect of passive movements.
abstract: A mercury strain guage was used to analyze the affects of passive movement techniques upon the anterior cruciate ligament. One post-mortem subject was studied. Posterior-anterior pressures, with knee flexed to 90° and medially rotated, revealed the most significant displacement of the anterior cruciate. It is suggested that combined movements may play a significant role in treatment of the knee joint.
