Background The trunk is the foundation for transfer and dissipation of forces throughout the
lower extremity kinetic chain. Individuals with knee disorders may employ trunk …

Clarifying proximal gait adaptations as a strategy to reduce knee joint loading and pain for
individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) contributes to understanding the pathogenesis of …

Background Deviations in knee joint geometry and alignment were previously related to an
increased risk for knee OA. These were hypothesized to influence the load distribution over …

Engineering biomechanical features of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have been investigated
by many researchers with theoretical and empirical development extensively fulfilled in the …

Purpose Studies comparing mid-or long-term outcomes of open-and closed-wedge high
tibial osteotomy are limited. Here, the midterm survival rate and clinical and radiographic …

Knee osteoarthritis patient phenoty** is relevant to develo** targeted treatments and
assessing the treatment efficacy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to identify …

Background Varus knee alignment has been identified as a risk factor for the progression of
medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study tested the hypothesis that not only frontal plane …

Purpose In this prospective study, the changes in kinetics and kinematics of gait and clinical
outcomes after a varus osteotomy (tibial, femoral or double osteotomy) in patients with …

Abstract Background Long leg radiographs (LLRs) are commonly performed for assessment
of mechanical alignment and operative planning in patients undergoing total knee …

Introduction Osteoarthritis of the knee affects millions of people. Elastic knee sleeves aim at
relieving symptoms. While symptomatic improvements have been demonstrated as a …
