Comparative diagnostic accuracy of knee adduction moments in knee osteoarthritis: A case for not normalizing to body size
Abstract
Previous authors have questioned the practice of normalizing the external knee adduction moment during gait to body size when investigating dynamic joint loading in knee osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to compare the abilities of non-normalized and normalized external knee adduction moments during gait in discriminating between patients with least and greatest severity of radiographic medial compartment knee OA. Subjects with …
