Purpose The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility of a new measurement system using micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS)-based sensors for quantifying the pivot shift phenomenon. Methods The pivot shift test was performed on 13 consecutive anterior cruciate ligament-deficient sub...
