Comparison of knee biomechanical characteristics during gait between patients with knee osteoarthritis and healthy individuals
Significant differences were found in the spatiotemporal parameters, knee kinematics and kinetics, and TFCF between the two groups. The results of this study have important implication for clinicians and rehabilitation physicians. These quantified biomechanical differences can provide data support for the personalized and quantified rehabilitation strategies, give suggestions for the exercises of KOA patients, help monitor disease, evaluate surgical treatment, and develop more effective preoperative planning and postoperative rehabilitation strategies.
