Background Increased knee abduction during weight-bearing activities is suggested to be a
contributing factor for the high knee injury risk reported in women. However, studies …

Background Increased external knee abduction moment has been proposed as a risk factor
for patellofemoral pain. This alteration is thought to be associated with elevated …

The increasingly ubiquitous use of smartphones has made distracted walking common, not
only on flat ground, but also on stairs. Available information regarding changes in gait …

Introduction Knee pain can impact the performance of activities and sports participation in
children. Dynamic knee valgus is a movement pattern commonly related to health conditions …

Background Falls on stairs often result in severe injury and occur twice as frequently in
women. However, gender differences in kinetics and kinematics during stair descent are …

Background Adolescents have a high incidence of knee joint dysfunctions, with up to 28% of
adolescents reporting knee pain. Although adolescent females have a greater incidence of …

Purpose In fracture and realignment surgery, the contralateral unaffected side is often used
as a model or template for the injured bone even though clinically valuable quantitative data …

Abstract Background and Aims Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is common in males, causing
reduced physical activity and chronic pain. One proposed cause of PFP is aberrant …

The movement pattern during stair descent differs by gender, and this difference may be
associated with gender differences in muscle strength or activation. The purpose of this …

This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and compare kinetic and kinematic variables of
the knee joint during stair descent, single-leg step down, and single-leg squat tasks. It also …
