Knee adduction moment relates to medial femoral and tibial cartilage morphology in clinical knee osteoarthritis.
The objective was to determine the extent to which the external peak knee adduction moment (KAM) and cumulative knee adductor load explained variation in medial cartilage morphology of the tibia and femur in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Sixty-two adults with clinical knee OA participated (61.5 ± 6.2 years). To determine KAM, inverse dynamics was applied to motion and force data of walking. Cumulat...
متن کاملWhat predicts the first peak of the knee adduction moment?
BACKGROUND The first peak of the knee adduction moment curve during walking has been shown to be a good clinical surrogate measure of medial tibiofemoral joint loading and osteoarthritis. Defining the relative contributions of the variables that dictate the knee adduction moment, such as center of mass, center of pressure, vertical ground reaction force, and knee adduction angle (i.e. lower lim...
متن کاملEffects 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 کاملA Gait Modification to Reduce the External Adduction Moment at the Knee: a Case Study
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, and affects approximately one-third of the elderly population. The medial tibiofemoral compartment is most commonly involved. This is due, in part, to the ground reaction force vector passing medial to the knee joint center during gait. This distance increases with genu varus malalignment, resulting in an increased external adductio...
متن کاملContribution of knee adduction moment impulse to pain and disability in Japanese women with medial knee osteoarthritis.
BACKGROUND An increase in the knee adduction moment is one of the risk factors of medial knee osteoarthritis. This study examined the relationship between knee adduction moment and self-reported pain and disability. We also investigated the influence of pain on the relationships between knee adduction moment and gait performance and disability. METHODS Thirty-eight Japanese women with medial ...
