Peking University Third Hospital

Conditions:

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tear

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-45 years

Brief Summary

Investigating the biomechanics for the PCL ruptured or reconstructed patients during walking, jogging, cutting, jumping. To establish a knee joint biomechanical evaluation model to quantify and evalua...

Detailed Description

Background: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is an essential structure in knee stabilization. Knee cartilage degeneration after a PCL injury has been reported in several studies. Understanding th...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • age of 18-45 years old
