## Abstract The existence of an anterior cruciate ligamentβhamstring reflex arc, the extent to which these reflexes can protect the knee, and the extent to which they are affected by rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament remain controversial. We evaluated the temporal components of the anterior

An existing goat model was used to measure in vivo graft forces during walking, to determine if the forces set at surgery change over time under the same external load and if the forces in the graft during in vivo function can be dictated by the forces set at surgery. The anterior cruciate ligament
## Abstract In order to determine the appropriate load history for optimal remodeling of an anterior cruciate ligament graft, methods for establishing and measuring graft forces __in vivo__ are required. Our objectives with this study were to (a) develop a method in which the graft force due to an
