Abstract:
:Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is reported to have characteristic kinematics during walking. However, the relationship between Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) score and the 3D kinematic gait of patients with medial KOA remains unclear. Here, ninety-seven patients with medial KOA and thirty-eight asymptomatic participants were involved. Patients with medial KOA were divided into early, moderate, and severe KOA based on the K/L score. Through kinematic gait analysis, we found a relationship between K/L score and 3D kinematic gait for patients. All KOA knees had a significantly reduced range of motion. As the K/L score was increasing, the knee flexion at the heel strike and 50% of the stance phase increased while the peak knee flexion in the swing phase decreased. In addition, the adduction and femoral rotation increased internally at the heel strike, 50% of the stance phase, and maximum angle of the swing phase. Femoral translation increased anteriorly and distally at the heel strike and 50% of the stance phase. The severe group had more medial translation than the asymptomatic groups. Significant alterations of three-dimensional joint kinematics were identified in subjects suffering various severities in Chinese patients. This study provides an important reference for the treatment options, therapy assessment, and rehabilitation of KOA.
