Knee adduction moment and development of chronic knee pain in elders [PDF]
Arthritis Care & Research, 2004 AbstractObjectiveTo determine whether the adduction moment at the knee during locomotor activity contributes to the development of future chronic knee pain.MethodsWe studied 132 community‐dwelling elders who had undergone a full kinetic and kinematic motion analysis while performing 4 different activities: standing, walking, rising from a chair, and ...

Sensor-Based Gait Retraining Lowers Knee Adduction Moment and Improves Symptoms in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 The present study compared the effect between walking exercise and a newly developed sensor-based gait retraining on the peaks of knee adduction moment (KAM), knee adduction angular impulse (KAAI), knee flexion moment (KFM) and symptoms and functions in ...

The knee adduction moment and knee osteoarthritis symptoms: relationships according to radiographic disease severity [PDF]
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2017 To investigate relationships between external knee adduction moment parameters (KAM) and osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms according to disease severity.164 participants with symptomatic medial knee OA were included. Radiographic severity was graded by (1) Kellgren & Lawrence (KL) scale (Grade 2, n = 49; Grade, n = 52; Grade 4, n = 63) and; (2) medial ...

The Effect of Static Trial on Knee Adduction Moment During Walking. [PDF]
CureusBackground and aim Sophisticated technologies in rehabilitation, such as three-dimensional gait analysis, allow for measuring kinematic and kinetic variables while performing activities. The first peak external knee adduction moment (EKAM) is considered an important outcome in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and has been shown to be affected ...

A novel walking cane with haptic biofeedback reduces knee adduction moment in the osteoarthritic knee. [PDF]
J Biomech, 2021 Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of ambulatory disability in adults. The most prescribed mobility aid, the walking cane, is often underloaded and therefore fails to reduce knee joint loading and provide symptomatic relief. For this study, a novel walking cane with haptic biofeedback was designed to improve cane loading and reduce the knee ...

Foot progression angle and the knee adduction moment: a cross-sectional investigation in knee osteoarthritis [PDF]
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2008 To test the hypothesis that an association exists between the characteristics of the knee adduction moment and foot progression angle (FPA) in asymptomatic individuals and those with mild to moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis (OA).Fifty asymptomatic individuals, 46 patients with mild to moderate and 44 patients with severe knee OA were recruited ...

Knee Strength and Knee Adduction Moments following Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy [PDF]
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2008 This study investigated the relationship between muscular strength about the knee and knee joint moments during gait in patients who had undergone arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM).One hundred and two APM patients and 42 age-matched nonoperated controls underwent strength testing and three-dimensional gait analysis.
