Abstract

Purpose: Purpose: Knee adduction moment (KAM) relates to medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Several gait modifications have been reported to reduce KAM to ameliorate knee OA. Nanba style of walking (N walk) and walking with a continuous draw-in maneuver (DI walk) have biomechanical effects that reduce the KAM in healthy young individuals. It remains unknown, however, whether these biomechanical maneuvers reduce the KAM in patients with knee OA. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the N walk and DI walk on KAM in patients with knee OA.
