Muscle activation and electromyography studies

We assessed proprioception using threshold levels for the perception of knee movement at slow angular velocities (0.1°/s to 0.85°/s) in 20 patients with unilateral tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and 15 age-related control subjects. Failure to detect movement was also analysed.
