Knee adduction moment and medial contact force--facts about their correlation during gait. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The external knee adduction moment is considered a surrogate measure for the medial tibiofemoral contact force and is commonly used to quantify the load reducing effect of orthopedic interventions. However, only limited and controversial data exist about

Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients.

Predicting knee adduction moment response to gait retraining with minimal clinical data. [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol, 2022 AbstractKnee osteoarthritis is a progressive disease mediated by high joint loads. Foot progression angle modifications that reduce the knee adduction moment (KAM), a surrogate of knee loading, have demonstrated efficacy in alleviating pain and improving function. Although changes to the foot progression angle are overall beneficial, KAM reductions are

Effects of Backward Walking on External Knee Adduction Moment and Knee Adduction Angular Impulse in Individuals with Medial Knee Osteoarthritis [PDF]
BioengineeringBackground: Backward walking (BW) has been proven to reduce the external knee adduction moment (EKAM) and knee adduction angular impulse (KAAI) during gait in healthy subjects, but its effects in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) remain unknown ...

Estimation of the External Knee Adduction Moment during Gait Using an Inertial Measurement Unit in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Although the external knee adduction moment (KAM) during gait was shown to be a quantitative parameter of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA), it requires expensive equipment and a dedicated large space to measure.

Estimation of the Knee Adduction Moment and Joint Contact Force during Daily Living Activities Using Inertial Motion Capture [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 Knee osteoarthritis is a major cause of pain and disability in the elderly population with many daily living activities being difficult to perform as a result of this disease. The present study aimed to estimate the knee adduction moment and tibiofemoral
