Partitioning of knee joint internal forces in gait is dictated by the knee adduction angle and not by the knee adduction moment

Journal of Biomechanics, 2014
Medial knee osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease. Surgical and conservative interventions are performed to manage its progression via reduction of load on the medial compartment or equivalently its surrogate measure, the external adduction moment.

Comparison of peak knee adduction moment and knee adduction moment impulse in distinguishing between severities of knee osteoarthritis

Clinical Biomechanics, 2012
The peak knee adduction moment is a valid proxy for medial knee joint loading. However as it only measures load at one instance of stance, knee adduction moment impulse, a measure that takes into account both the magnitude and duration of the stance phase, may provide more comprehensive information.

Identifying yoga-based knee strengthening exercises using the knee adduction moment

Clinical Biomechanics, 2015
This study aimed to compare muscle activations, co-contraction indices, and the knee adduction moment between static standing yoga postures to identify appropriate exercises for knee osteoarthritis.Healthy young women (24.4 (5.4) years, 23.1 (3.7) kg/m(2)) participated.

DoesT'ai ChiGait Reduce External Knee Adduction Moment?

The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2016
T'ai chi chuan is a beneficial exercise of improving health and function. Biomechanical insights of t'ai chi chuan are less understood.To study t'ai chi gait (TCG), a common form of t'ai chi chuan in order to quantify external knee adduction moment (EKAM) as a key indicator of mechanical loading of the medial compartment of the knee compared with ...

Dynamic alignment and its association with knee adduction moment in medial knee osteoarthritis

The Knee, 2010
Lower limb dynamic alignment represents the limb position during functional loading conditions and obtains valuable information throughout the gait cycle rather than a single instant in time. This study aims to determine whether dynamic alignment is altered in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) and how dynamic alignment is related to knee adduction moment

Effects of idiopathic flatfoot deformity on knee adduction moments during walking

Gait & Posture, 2021
Flatfoot deformity is commonly characterized by a subtalar valgus, a low medial longitudinal arch, and abduction of the forefoot. Although flatfoot deformity has been associated with lower first (KAM1) and second (KAM2) peak knee adduction moments during walking, the biomechanical connection remains unknown.We hypothesized that hindfoot eversion ...

A wearable sensor system for knee adduction moment measurement

2016 IEEE International Conference on Real-time Computing and Robotics (RCAR), 2016
Knee adduction moment is a key parameter that links with the severity of knee osteoarthritis. However, assessment of the knee adduction moment is commonly implemented through the stationary measurement systems in a gait laboratory. The purpose of this study is to develop a wearable sensor system that can be used to estimate the knee adduction moment. A

Effects of simple knee sleeves on pain and knee adduction moment in early unilateral knee osteoarthritis

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2019
Knee sleeves are often prescribed to alleviate pain in people with early knee osteoarthritis. However, the biomechanics underlying their pain-relieving effect are still not well understood. This pre–post study aims at evaluating and comparing the effects of two different types of knee sleeves on knee adduction moment.

Modelling knee flexion effects on joint power absorption and adduction moment

The Knee, 2015
Knee osteoarthritis is commonly associated with ageing and long-term walking. In this study the effects of flexing motions on knee kinetics during stance were simulated. Extended knees do not facilitate efficient loading. It was therefore, hypothesised that knee flexion would promote power absorption and negative work, while possibly reducing knee ...

Modified walking shoes for knee osteoarthritis: Mechanisms for reductions in the knee adduction moment

Journal of Biomechanics, 2013
The objective of this study was to examine mechanisms underpinning the reduction in knee adduction moment (KAM) and changes in frontal plane knee-ground reaction force (GRF) lever arm with a modified shoe that incorporates both a variable-stiffness sole and lateral wedging.
