In this article, the authors posit that, because osteoarthritis (OA) involves all of the tissues of
the synovial joint, the emphasis on the loss of cartilage, in particular, is misguided. In …

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 …

Objective To evaluate if gait biomechanics are associated with increased risk of structurally
diagnosed disease onset or progression of lower limb osteoarthritis (OA). Method A …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that selected gait kinematics, particularly lateral trunk
lean, observed in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis explain variation in …

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent forms of this disease, with the medial
compartment most commonly affected. The direction of external forces and limb orientation …

The phalangeal portion of the forefoot is extremely short relative to body mass in humans.
This derived pedal proportion is thought to have evolved in the context of committed …

INTRODUCTION: Systematic reviews agree that knee osteoarthritis (OA) is related to
occupational activities, but have not quantified the overall risks. METHODS: Systematic …

Objectives To evaluate if altering the foot progression angle (FPA) by varying magnitudes
during gait alters the external knee adduction moment (KAM), knee flexion moment (KFM) …
