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)...

Effect of Fatigue on Knee Kinematics and Kinetics During Walking in Individuals With Flat Feet

Purpose: Flat feet associates with altered knee kinematics, kinetics, as well as knee pain. Fatigue of plantar intrinsic foot muscles may increase the navicular drop. However, it is unclear how fatigue influences the knee pain in individuals with flat feet. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of fatigue on knee kinematics and kinetics in flat feet people during walking. Methods:...

ترکیب استفاده همزمان از بریس زانو و گوه خارجی بر طیف فرکانس نیروی عکس العمل زمین در بیماران مبتلا به استئوآرتریت زانو

 Aims and background:  The aim of this study was to determine the effects of isolated and combined use of valgus knee braces and lateral wedge foot orthotics on the frequency spectrum of ground reaction forces generated in the knee by the gait of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Materials and methods: 24 males (age: 62.1 ± 2.0 years( with varus knee malalignment and symptomatic medial compart...

Medial Unicompartmental Osteoarthritis (MUO) of the Knee: Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (UKR) or Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
