Abstract
Moment arms of muscles at the knee joint during internal/external rotation and flexion/extension were measured throughout the range of motion for normal knees and knees with the anterior cruciate ligament resected. 17 cadaver specimens were studied and moment arms were derived using the tendon excursion method
