Abstract: The normalcy index (NI) has been implemented by several studies as a simple index for quantitatively analyzing diffident gait abnormalities, such as children with cerebral palsy and idiopathic toe-walkers. However, whether the NI can be used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency with different types of meniscus injuries or not, has not been reported yet. In this study, 25 patients who combined different types of ACL and meniscus injuries were evaluated by the NI analysis. 12 healthy subjects were used to define the normal range of NI. The result showed that NI values of patients were significantly larger than the control group (P
