Background Understanding the effects of gait speed on biomechanical variables is
fundamental for a proper evaluation of alterations in gait, since pathological individuals tend …

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 …

Background Altered gait patterns follow ing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR)
may be associated with long-term impairments and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Objective …

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 …

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 …

Objective Our primary aim was to determine the cross‐sectional relationship between knee
biomechanics during gait and pain in people with medial knee osteoarthritis. Our secondary …

After unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), osteoarthritis (OA) in the non‐operated knee
often progresses. The altered gait mechanics exhibited by patients after TKA increase the …

Purpose This study aimed to compare peak and PUD knee joint loads between human
walking and running. Methods Fourteen healthy adults walked and ran at self-selected …

Reducing the knee adduction moment (KAM) is a promising treatment for medial
compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although several gait modifications to lower the KAM …

BACKGROUND: The peak knee adduction moment is a valid proxy for medial knee joint
loading. However as it only measures load at one instance of stance, knee adduction …
