Abstract

Purpose: Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) may experience pain, functional limitations, and mechanical dysfunction during gait. Numerous studies have examined associations between patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) and dynamic biomechanical markers, such as varus thrust during loading or dynamic flexion contracture. In contrast to static mechanical markers (e.g., the femoro-tibial angle), dynamic biomechanical markers are better associated with PROMS and objective performance tests. This has clinical relevance since studies have demonstrated the possibility to modify these markers.
