The purpose of the study was to analyze and compare KT-1000 knee laxity as examined by a left-hand- and a right-hand-dominant physiotherapist in a group of patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and a group of patients, 2 years after ACL reconstruction. The other aim was to measure and analyze knee laxity in a group of persons without any known knee problems. A crosssectional examination of two groups of patients preoperatively and post-operatively after ACL reconstruction and examination of healthy controls on two different occasions was performed. 22 patients who were scheduled for ACL reconstruction and 20 patients who attended a 2- year follow-up examination were included in the study. In the ACL-deficient group, 14 patients had a right-sided ACL injury and 08 patients a left-sided ACL injury. The corresponding figures in the post-operative group were 13 patients with a right-sided ACL injury and 07 patients with a left-sided ACL injury. 20 healthy persons without any known knee problems served as controls. One left-hand- and one right-hand-dominant experienced physiotherapist performed all the examinations. To be able to evaluate the intra and inter-reliability of the examiners the controls were examined at two occasions. The left-hand-dominant physiotherapist measured significantly higher absolute laxity values in the left knee, both injured and non-injured ones, compared with the right-hand-dominant physiotherapist. This was found irrespectively of whether the patients belonged to the ACL deficient or the post-operative group. In the healthy control group, the right-hand-dominant physiotherapist measured significantly higher knee-laxity values in the right knee compared with the left-handdominant physiotherapist. Correspondingly, the left-handdominant physiotherapist measured significantly higher knee laxity values in the left knee. We conclude that KT- 1000 arthrometer laxity measurements can be affected by the hand dominance of the examiner. This might affect the reliability of KT-1000 arthrometer measurements.Keywords

India is the fastest growing economy with so many sub-cultures existing together. Perhaps no nations face the greatest challenges and opportunities for LGBTQ Community than India. 92% of India’s transgender population is deprived of the right to participate in any form of economic activity (Human Rights Commission Report, 2017). Less than half of them have an access to education and those (62% approx.) who have access face abuse and discrimination against them. India is said to have incurred the loss of $32 Billion of GDP due to Homophobia and Transphobia (World Bank Report 2016). Experts have opined that there is a strong business case in favour of LGBTQ inclusion. In the historic verdict on September 6, 2018, Honorable Supreme Court decriminalized Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that violated rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT+) community. Given the huge number of LGBTQ population in India, this judgement is expected to have significant implications for various stakeholders of the society as well as business. This paper attempts to analyze the business and economic impact of this legislation in India. The paper also seeks to examine the challenges of LGBTQ Inclusion in India and across the world and offer suitable suggestions to the various stakeholders for bringing out inclusion in true sense for the overall wellbeing of the economy.Keywords
