Abstract

Patients who underwent ACLR spent less time in MVPA and had a lower daily step count compared with highly matched controls (age, sex, and activity level) with no history of knee injuries. This was true despite being similar in activity levels, which brings into question the utility of the Tegner and Marx activity scales.
