In adult patients with ACLR, limb-level loading profiles are less dynamic compared with uninjured controls (ie, lesser peaks and minimal offloading during midstance) early post-ACLR, and less dynamic profiles are associated with deleterious knee tissue changes. However, joint-level loading magnitudes during gait in the pediatric ACLR population are unknown.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose\/Hypothesis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The purpose of this study was to compare medial and lateral tibiofemoral joint contact force profiles between pediatric patients with ACLR and pediatric matched controls.

The concurrent optimization of muscle activation and kinematics algorithm was utilized to estimate medial and lateral compartment tibiofemoral joint contact forces in the ACLR limb and pediatric matched control limb.
