Abstract
Purpose: Incline walking provides a more demanding gait environment as compared to level walking and is used as a rehabilitation exercise for knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients with quadriceps dysfunction and atrophy. Unfortunately, the increased demands of incline walking may lead to unwanted increases in gait asymmetry in this population, but this has yet to be examined. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to i) examine the effects of incline walking on gait biomechanics in adults with knee OA by comparing mean spatiotemporal parameters and lower limb impact accelerations, as well as the asymmetry of these outcomes.
