Retraining individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis to walk with a patient-specific change in their foot angle (ie, toe-in or toe-out angle) can reduce excessive joint loading related to disease progression. This study investigated the clinical, biomechanical, and structural efficacy of personalised foot progression angle modifications compared with sham treatment in patients with mild-to-moderate medial… Continue reading Personalised #gait retraining for medial compartment #knee #osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled trial

Curve #Walking Reveals More #Gait Impairments in Older Adults with Mild #Cognitive Impairment than Straight Walking: A Kinect Camera-Based Study
Background:Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia detectable through gait analysis. Curve walking, which demands greater cognitive and motor skills, may be more sensitive in MCI detection than straight walking. However, few studies have compared gait performance in older adults with and without MCI in… Continue reading Curve #Walking Reveals More #Gait Impairments in Older Adults with Mild #Cognitive Impairment than Straight Walking: A Kinect Camera-Based Study
Are biomechanics during gait associated with the structural disease onset and progression of lower limb osteoarthritis? A systematic review and meta-analysis
To evaluate if gait biomechanics are associated with increased risk of structurally diagnosed disease onset or progression of lower limb osteoarthritis (OA). MethodA systematic review of Medline and Embase was conducted from inception to July 2021. Two reviewers independently screened records, extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Included studies reported gait biomechanics at baseline,… Continue reading Are biomechanics during gait associated with the structural disease onset and progression of lower limb osteoarthritis?
