External knee adduction and flexion moments during gait and medial tibiofemoral disease progression in knee osteoarthritis

摘要

Objective: Test the hypothesis that greater baseline peak external knee adduction moment (KAM), KAM impulse, and peak external knee flexion moment (KFM) during the stance phase of gait are associated with baseline-to-2-year medial tibiofemoral cartilage damage and bone marrow lesion progression, and cartilage thickness loss.
