Limited knee extension during gait after total knee arthroplasty is related to a low Oxford Knee Score

Background: After total knee replacement (TKR) some patients report low self-perceived function, which is clinically measured using patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, PROMs, e.g. the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), inherently lack objective parameters of knee function. Biomechanical gait analysis is an objective and reliable...

Inter-laboratory comparison of knee biomechanics and muscle activation patterns during gait in patients with knee osteoarthritis

Background: Gait analysis has been used for decades to quantify knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis; however, it is unknown whether and to what extent inter-laboratory differences affect the comparison of gait data between studies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to perform an inter-laboratory comparison of knee...
