Effects of backward gait training protocol on knee adduction moment and impulse during walking in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis
Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of backward gait training protocol on knee adduction moment and impulse in male patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design included two control groups (healthy and patient) and an experimental group (subjects with medial knee osteoarthritis)...
متن کاملEffect of center of pressure modulation on knee adduction moment in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
The knee adduction moment (KAM) provides a major contribution to the elevated load in the medial compartment of the knee. An abnormally high KAM has been linked with the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Footwear-generated biomechanical manipulations reduce the magnitude of this moment by conveying a more laterally shifted trajectory of the foot's center of pressure (COP), reducing the d...
متن کاملCorrelation between Quadriceps Endurance and Adduction Moment in Medial Knee Osteoarthritis
It is not clear whether the strength or endurance of thigh muscles (quadriceps and hamstring) is positively or negatively correlated with the adduction moment of osteoarthritic knees. This study therefore assessed the relationships between the strength and endurance of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles and adduction moment in osteoarthritic knees and evaluated predictors of the adduction mom...
متن کاملThe Effect of Alendronate on Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disorder and a major cause of pain and disability. Recent studies have suggested that bisphosphonates such as alendronate may have a role in the treatment of osteoarthritis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential effect of alendronate on the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Thirty nine patients wi...
متن کاملEffectiveness of muscle strengthening exercises on the clinical outcomes of patients with knee osteoarthritis: A randomized four-arm controlled trial
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the major causes of dysfunction that reduces patients’ quality of life. The aim of current study was to investigate the effectiveness of muscle strengthening exercises on the clinical outcomes of patients with knee OA. Methods: We conducted a single-blind clinical trial on 96 patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Patients were random...
