Abstract
Introduction: Increased peak knee adduction moment (KAM) (a medial knee load surrogate during gait) and varus thrust presence (rapid lateral knee movement during stance phase of gait) are biomechanical variables associated with almost two times greater odds of medial knee osteoarthritis progression. Therefore, addressing these variables is important. However, the relationship between knee biomechanics and pain in people with knee osteoarthritis is unclear. This relationship is important to examine as pain management is a driving factor to seek healthcare, and biomechanical devices are used clinically for osteoarthritis management.
