4 Fig. 3 Balance index in subjects with and without meniscus tears. A lower score for the balance index indicates better overall balance performance (less anterior–posterior and medio-lateral sway, longer stance duration). ANOVA model: F=3.392, P=0.028 (unadjusted for age); F=3.474, P=0.026 (age-adjusted). LSD post-hoc t tests were used for all pairwise comparisons of no tear, medial, lateral, and bilateral meniscus tears. *P=0.066, **P=0.033, and ***P=0.004.
