Lateral trunk lean explains variation in dynamic knee joint load in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis

Abstract

METHOD: In this cross-sectional observational study, 120 patients with radiographically confirmed varus gonarthrosis underwent three-dimensional gait analysis at their typical walking speed.
