A total of 24 subjects: 6 end-staged medial knee OA with torsion deformity (TKO), 8 without torsion deformity (KOA), and 10 controls (CON) were imaged using computed tomography (CT). Internal moment of support and sagittal hip, knee and ankle joint moments were assessed using gait analysis. TKO showed greater external rotations of the proximal tibia and the distal femur compared to subjects with medial knee OA without torsion deformity and controls. TKO showed greater moment of support and a greater knee extensor moment when compared to controls when supporting the weight of the body during gait. The TKO intorsion deformity occurred as a result of a proximal malrotation of the tibia. In the presence of torsion deformity, the kinetic synergy of the lower limb showed increased total moment of support for subjects with medial knee OA. The greater extensor output from TKO may be the result of an increased muscular response to overcome an interrupted inter-segmental exchange of accelerations during the loading response phase of gait.展开更多

Although increased step-width has been shown to reduce peak knee abduction moment(KAbM), no studies have examined the biomechanical effects of increased QF in cycling at different workrates in healthy participants.Methods: A total of 16 healthy participants(8 males, 8 females, age: 22.4 ± 2.6 years, body mass index: 22.78 ± 1.43 kg/m^2, mean ± SD) participated.A motion capture system and customized instrumented pedals were used to collect 3-dimensional kinematic(240 Hz) and pedal reaction force(PRF)(1200 Hz) data in 12 testing conditions: 4 QF conditions—Q1(15.0 cm), Q2(19.2 cm), Q3(23.4 cm), and Q4(27.6 cm)—under 3 workrate conditions—80 watts(W), 120 W, and 160 W. A 3 × 4(QF × workrate) repeated measures of analysis of variance were performed to analyze differences among conditions(p < 0.05).Results: Increased QF increased peak KAbM by 47%, 56%, and 56% from Q1 to Q4 at each respective workrate. Mediolateral PRF increased from Q1 to Q4 at each respective workrate. Frontal-plane knee angle and range of motion decreased with increased QF. No changes were observed for peak vertical PRF, knee extension moment, sagittal plane peak knee joint angles, or range of motion.Conclusion: Increased QF increased peak KAbM, suggesting increased medial compartment loading of the knee. QF modulation may influence frontal-plane joint loading when using stationary cycling for exercise or rehabilitation purposes.展开更多

Methods: OA was confirmed by radiography in all patients, who were divided into three groups: exercise (n = 44), insole (n = 55), and brace (n = 19). Clinical knee functions and gait analyses were evaluated. Results: After 12 months, the clinical results for all groups had improved compared to pretreatment findings. Although the knee varus moment decreased and the gait speed increased when the insole was worn initially, the effects of the insole decreased at 6 and 12 months. In contrast, the knee varus moment decreased and the gait speed increased when the brace was initially fitted. The effects of the brace were maintained during the 12 months. Conclusions: The insole was effective for patients with Kellgren-Lawrence Grades II and III, and the knee brace was effective for patients with Grades III and IV conditions. Furthermore, the knee brace was more effective when worn for more than 6 months, while the effects of the insoles were not continuous.展开更多
