The muscles of the lower limb, particularly the quadriceps, play an important role in the
genesis and management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). At the knee, muscles function to …

Objective To evaluate the effect of gait modification strategies on the external knee
adduction moment (KAM), a marker of medial knee joint load; determine potentially adverse …

Study Design Controlled laboratory study using a cross-sectional design. Objectives To
determine whether there are any differences between the sexes in trunk, pelvis, hip, and …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether hip abductor and adductor muscle strengthening
reduces medial compartment knee load and improves symptoms in people with medial …

BACKGROUND: While knee osteoarthritis has been shown to affect a multitude of kinematic,
kinetic and temporo-spatial gait parameters, few investigations have examined the effect of …

Objective To compare the strength of the hip musculature in people with symptomatic medial
knee osteoarthritis (OA) with asymptomatic controls. Methods Eighty‐nine people with knee …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent cause of disability in the United States, with the
medial compartment of the knee being most commonly affected. The initiation and …

Purpose The study's purpose was to compare trunk, pelvis, hip, and knee frontal plane
biomechanics in males and females with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) …

Objective Medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by pain and associated with
abnormal knee moments during walking. The relationship between knee OA pain and gait …

Background Hip abductor muscle weakness may result in impaired frontal-plane pelvic
control during gait, leading to greater medial compartment loading in people with knee …
