a. shows the expiremnetal procedure of the KT-2000 arthrometer and the position of the knee joint, placement of the examiner hands and the direction of the tibial pull illustrated. b. shows the position of the arthroscopic prope and the direction of the ACL pull by the examiner. The tibial translation with the KT-2000 and, by inference, the tendon movement is similar to that of the direct ACL pull reported by Friemert et al. (2005a). This does mean to imply that the reflex onset latency between the two methods is the same
