dc.description.abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the infuence of trunk lean and contralateral hip abductor strength on the peak knee
adduction moment (KAM) and rate of loading in persons with moderate medial knee osteoarthritis. Tirty-one males (17 with
osteoarthritis, 14 controls) underwent 3-dimensional motion analysis, strength testing of hip abductors, and knee range of motion
(ROM) measures, as well as completing the knee osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS). No diferences were found between groups
or limbs for gait cycle duration, but the osteoarthritis group had longer double-limb support during weight acceptance (p < 0.001)
and delayed frontal plane trunk motion towards the stance limb (p < 0.01). Tis was refected by a lower rate of loading for the
osteoarthritis group compared to controls (p < 0.001), whereas no diferences were found for peak KAM. Trunk angle, contralateral
hip abductor strength, and BMI explained the rate of loading at the involved knee (p < 0.001), an association not found for the
contralateral knee or control knees. Prolonged trunk lean over the stance limb may help lower peak KAM values. Rate of frontal
plane knee joint loading may partly be mediated by the contralateral limb’s abductor strength, accentuating the importance of
bilateral lower limb strength for persons with knee osteoarthritis. |
