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

This study examined the influence of a 6‐week gait retraining program on the knee
adduction moment (KAM) and knee pain and function. Ten subjects with medial …

The first peak of the knee adduction moment has been linked to the presence, severity, and
progression of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. The objective of this study was to …

CONTEXT: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a musculoskeletal disorder primarily affecting the older
population and resulting in chronic pain and disability. Biomechanical variables, associated …

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

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 …

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) …
