  • LSI=operated leg/healthy leg; Mixed functional ratio=IJ30/Q240 (with IJ30 the Hamstring peak torque at 30°/s of isokinetic assessment, and Q240 the Quadriceps peak torque at 240°/s of isokinetic assessment).

  • BW, body weight; IKDC, International Knee Documentation Committee; LSI, Limb Symmetry Index; postop, postoperative; SANE, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation; SEBT, Star Excursion Balance Test; TSK11, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11.
