  • Univariate regression analyses were performed for crude results; multivariate regression analysis was employed for the adjusted analysis with a model including one-leg rise LSI, sex, age, BMI, surgery/no surgery and baseline KOOS4 scores.

  • *Tests included were one-leg hop, square-hop, one-leg balance and one-leg rise tests.

  • BMI, body mass index; LSI, leg symmetry index (injured leg divided by non-injured leg×100).
