De volgende proposities worden behandeld:

• Using an autograft patellar tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction revision gives superior results in terms of return to sports and knee laxity than by using other tendons. this thesis
• The SCoRE and SARA methods are valid methods to determine tibiofemoral movements using optical motion capture. this thesis
• There is no correlation between passive and dynamic knee laxity in healthy people, however, there is a negative correlation between passive and dynamic knee laxity in patients after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. this thesis
• Copers have different strategies to limit dynamic knee laxity than non-copers. this thesis
• Gastrocnemius activity and knee flexion angles are of importance for limiting dynamic anterior tibia translation. this thesis
• Steeper medial tibia plateau angles are associated with less anterior tibia translation. this thesis
• Patients with a steeper lateral tibia plateau angle may automatically adapt their landing strategy (i.e. maximal knee flexion angle) to the anatomy of their knee. this thesis
