    Representative curves for hamstring antagonist torque (±SE) for a less functional ACLD subject and a more functional ACLD subject. Knee functionality scores for the less and more functional ACLD subje

    Representative curves for hamstring antagonist torque (±SE) for a less functional ACLD subject and a more functional ACLD subject. Knee functionality scores for the less and more functional ACLD subjects were 44 and 88 points, respectively.
