The aim of the study was to evaluate the torque of the shank rotating muscles in patients with reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and rehabilitation accomplished in comparison with a control group. The study was carried out on the group of 187 males. For the purpose of the study a prototype testing device for the shank rotating muscles' torque under static conditions was used. The study was based on the measurement of maximal torque at selected angles (-30 degree, 0 degree, 45 degree) of the shank rotation as well as on the angle (30 degree, 60 degree, 90 degree) of flexion of the knee joint. The results obtained in the group with reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and rehabilitation accomplished were comparable to those the control group and mostly of no statistical significance. Lack of significant differences between the values of shank rotating muscles' torque achieved in an injured limb compared to an uninjured one may testify to an effective rehabilitation process. The results of the research can serve as a diagnostic tool for the rehabilitation process development.
