    Patients after ACL reconstruction have a heightened risk of re-injury, particularly within the first two years post-surgery.

  • 2

    Asymmetrical landing mechanics are observed in ACLR patients, which may contribute to increased injury risk and knee osteoarthritis.

  • 3

    The study aimed to assess knee landing mechanics and joint laxity in ACLR patients compared to healthy controls during a drop vertical jump test.

  • 4

    Findings indicate that side-to-side asymmetries in landing mechanics are not correlated with asymmetries in knee joint laxity in ACLR patients.

  • 5

    The research highlights the need for further investigation into the relationship between knee biomechanics and joint laxity in ACLR patients.
