Foot rotation—A potential target to modify the knee adduction moment

Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2006
Isolating the particular joints/limb segments associated with knee adductor moment variability may provide clinically important data that could help to identify strategies to reduce medial tibiofemoral joint load. The aim of this study was to examine whether or not foot and thigh rotation during human locomotion are significant determinants of knee ...

Abduction-adduction moments at the knee during stair ascent and descent

Journal of Biomechanics, 1996
To examine the relative magnitude of the knee abduction-adduction moments during stair climbing, ten normal subjects (average weight 660 N, leg length 0.962 m, height 1.74 m) were studied during repeated trials of stair ascent and descent. Data were collected using a four-camera video system and two forces plates incorporated within a flight of three ...

Kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty reduces knee adduction moment more than mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2017
Knee adduction moment (KAM) has been recognized as a good clinical surrogate for medial tibiofemoral joint loading and is associated with implant durability after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to examine the effects of joint line obliquity in kinematically aligned TKA (KA-TKA) on KAM during gait.The study enrolled 21 knees from 18 ...

Patient with knee osteoarthritis demonstrates improved knee adduction moment after knee joint distraction: a case report

Acta Orthopaedica Belgica
In this article we report a case of a 53-year-old patient diagnosed with end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The patient underwent treatment with knee joint distraction (KJD) with the aim to postpone total knee arthroplasty and prevent potential revision surgery.

The Knee Adduction Moment During Gait is Associated With the Adduction Angle Measured During Computer-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2012
Computer-assisted surgery can be used to measure 3-dimensional knee function during arthroplasty surgery; however, it is unknown if the movement of the knee measured during surgery is related to the in vitro, dynamic state of the knee joint, specifically the knee adduction moment during gait, which has been related to implant migration.

Effect of footwear on the external knee adduction moment — A systematic review

The Knee, 2011
Footwear modifications have been investigated as conservative interventions to decrease peak external knee adduction moment (EKAM) and pain associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA).To evaluate the literature on the effect of different footwear and orthotics on the peak EKAM during walking and/or running.A systematic search of databases resulted in 348 ...

THE RELATIONSHIP OF FRONTAL PLANE KNEE KINEMATICS WITH KNEE ALIGNMENT AND ADDUCTION MOMENT

Journal of Biomechanics, 2008
It has been recognised that a knee varus alignment measured from static radiographs and a high knee adduction moment during gait are two important risk factors in the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) [Sharma, 2006]. We previously identified new frontal plane kinematic parameters enable to discriminate patients with severe knee OA from ...

The knee adduction moment measured with an instrumented force shoe in patients with knee osteoarthritis

Journal of Biomechanics, 2012
The external knee adduction moment (KAdM) during gait is an important parameter in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). KAdM measurement is currently restricted to instruments only available in gait laboratories. However, ambulatory movement analysis technology, including instrumented force shoes (IFS) and inertial and magnetic measurement systems ...

Effect of exercise and gait retraining on knee adduction moment in people with knee osteoarthritis

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2014
The knee adduction moment represents the medial knee joint load, and greater value is associated with higher load. In people with knee osteoarthritis, it is important to apply proper treatment with the least side effects to reduce knee adduction moment and, consequently, reduce medial knee joint load.

Knee adduction moment relates to medial femoral and tibial cartilage morphology in clinical knee osteoarthritis

Journal of Biomechanics, 2015
The objective was to determine the extent to which the external peak knee adduction moment (KAM) and cumulative knee adductor load explained variation in medial cartilage morphology of the tibia and femur in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Sixty-two adults with clinical knee OA participated (61.5 ± 6.2 years).
