    The lateral pivot shift test assesses rotational instability after ACL injury but lacks a quantitative evaluation system.

  • 2

    Current measurement devices for the pivot shift test are costly and not universally available, limiting their clinical use.

  • 3

    A new image analysis method using affordable digital cameras and software was developed to quantify lateral pivot shift movements.

  • 4

    The image analysis captures and processes video recordings to measure lateral compartment translation during the pivot shift test.

  • 5

    Preliminary validation showed that the image analysis method consistently measured lateral compartment translation in ACL deficient knees.
