Biomechanical analysis of two-dimensional models composed from roentgenographic pictures and electromyographic analysis on simultaneous isometric contraction exercises of the quadriceps and hamstrings were conducted in 20 healthy adult males. During simultaneous isometric contraction at 5° knee flexion, an anterior drawer force equivalent to 15% of the tension of the quadriceps was exerted to the tibia, and decreased with increased angle of flexion. The mean angle at which this force became zero was 7.4°, with a standard deviation of 5.0°. When the angle increased further, a posterior drawer force to the tibia occurred and gradually increased. Each tension of the quadriceps or hamstrings during maximum simultaneous isometric contraction of the quadriceps and hamstrings was estimated as 30%-60% of that during separate isometric contractions of each muscle. In the early stage of the rehabilitation after the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, the simultaneous isometric contraction of the quadriceps and the hamstrings is useful as one of the muscle exercise methods because it can be performed safely with the knee position near the full extension and can generate sufficient muscle force to be an effective exercise.
