The in vivo study of joint biomechanics is important for recognizing normal joint biomechanics as well as mechanical changes resulted from joint injuries and diseases. In addition kinematics and kinetics measures can be used for evaluating the outcome of treatment procedures. In the last decades, various methods such as radiological techniques, video-based motion analysis systems and electromagnetic tracking devices have been employed to asses in vivo three dimensional joint kinematics. The main purpose of this study is analyzing of tibiofemoral joint kinematics changes in ACL-Deficient knees using MRI.
