Extension phase 4.7 ± 2.5 4.9 ± 2.7
Medial condyle Contact point Flexion phase 9.3 ± 3.4 10.7 ± 3.8
Extension phase 8.3 ± 3.2 10.1 ± 3.7
Lateral condyle Contact point Flexion phase 10.8 ± 3.6 * 13.3 ± 4.4

Tibial Rotation: average magnitude of tibial internal/external rotation (°). Tibial Translation: average magnitude of tibial anterior/posterior translation (mm). Medial condyle Contact point: average magnitude of anterior/posterior translation of tibiofemoral contact points on medial tibial condyle (mm). Lateral condyle Contact point: average magnitude of anterior/posterior translation of tibiofemoral contact points on lateral tibial condyle (mm).There were significant differences in Lateral condyle Flexion and Extension phase.
Asterisk denotes P value < 0.05 by repeated measures ANOVA. Tukey’s test was used for post-hoc pair wise comparisons (p < 0.05).
