Foot progression angle asymmetry as a potential biomechanical marker of radiographic severity in knee osteoarthritis
Knee OA patients exhibit FPA asymmetry characterized by greater toe-out on the contralateral limb, correlating positively with higher radiographic severity (K&L grade) in the affected knee. FPA asymmetry may serve as a potential biomechanical marker of OA severity.
