The other aim was to measure and analyse knee laxity in a group of persons without any known knee problems. A cross\u2010sectional examination of two groups of patients pre\u2010operatively and post\u2010operatively after ACL reconstruction and examination of healthy controls on two different occasions was performed. Fifty\u2010three patients who were scheduled for ACL reconstruction and 39 patients who attended a 2\u2010year follow\u2010up examination were included in the study. In the ACL\u2010deficient group, 32 patients had a right\u2010sided ACL injury and 21 patients a left\u2010sided ACL injury. The corresponding figures in the post\u2010operative group were 21 patients with a right\u2010sided ACL injury and 18 patients with a left\u2010sided ACL injury. Twenty\u2010eight healthy persons without any known knee problems served as controls. One left\u2010hand\u2010 and one right\u2010hand\u2010dominant experienced physiotherapist performed all the examinations. To be able to evaluate the intra and inter\u2010reliability of the examiners the controls were examined at two occasions. The left\u2010hand\u2010dominant physiotherapist measured significantly higher absolute laxity values in the left knee, both injured and non\u2010injured ones, compared with the right\u2010hand\u2010dominant physiotherapist. This was found irrespectively of whether the patients belonged to the ACL deficient or the post\u2010operative group. In the healthy control group, the right\u2010hand\u2010dominant physiotherapist measured significantly higher knee\u2010laxity values in the right knee compared with the left\u2010hand\u2010dominant physiotherapist. Correspondingly, the left\u2010hand\u2010dominant physiotherapist measured significantly higher knee laxity values in the left knee. We conclude that KT\u20101000 arthrometer laxity measurements can be affected by the hand dominance of the examiner. This might affect the reliability of KT\u20101000 arthrometer measurements. Level of evidence is II.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-007-0347-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,19]],"date-time":"2007-06-19T12:17:29Z","timestamp":1182255449000},"page":"1181-1186","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Knee\u2010laxity
