PROPOSITIONS
Belonging to the thesis:Neuromusculair control of knee laxity
after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
of
Mich`ele N.J. Keizer
1. Using an autograft patellar tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruc-tion revision gives superior results in terms of return to sports and knee laxity than by using other tendons this thesis
2. The SCoRE and SARA methods are valid methods to determine tibiofemoral movements using optical motion capture this thesis
3. There is no correlation between passive and dynamic knee laxity in healthy people, however, there is a negative correlation between passive and dy-namic knee laxity in patients after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruc-tion this thesis
4. Copers have different strategies to limit dynamic knee laxity than non-copers this thesis
5. Gastrocnemius activity and knee flexion angles are of importance for limit-ing dynamic anterior tibia translation this thesis
6. Steeper medial tibia plateau angles are associated with less anterior tibia translation this thesis
7. Patients with a steeper lateral tibia plateau angle may automatically adapt their landing strategy (i.e. maximal knee flexion angle) to the anatomy of their knee this thesis
8. The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think. Albert Einstein
9. We never know, if something becomes better when we change it. But we know very well, that we have to change if we want to improve. Dante
