When lying supine, due to the reaction force from mattress acting mostly through heel, an external knee-extension joint-torque is induced that keeps knee fully extended. This torque becomes zero if feet are hung over end of support. study investigated, in patients with knee-osteoarthritis (knee-OA) who routinely sleep whether a change such sleeping position would ameliorate pain and associated ...
