The effect of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis on gait and three-dimensional biomechanical alterations

KOA induces significant biomechanical alterations in gait, which become more pronounced with advancing disease severity. These changes highlight the importance of early detection and tailored rehabilitation strategies to improve mobility and prevent further joint degeneration. Understanding the biomechanical profile of KOA at different stages is essential for developing personalized therapeutic approaches aimed at enhancing patient quality of life and reducing the societal burden of KOA.
