  1. This depicts the average values for the displacement of the meniscus during gait. For medial-lateral (ML) translation, positive values indicate translation toward the MCL. For anterior-posterior (AP), positive values indicate posterior translation. For superior-inferior displacement (SI), positive values indicate translation of the meniscus towards the femoral condyle
