Comparative diagnostic accuracy of knee adduction moments in knee osteoarthritis: A case for not normalizing to body size

Abstract

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.
