Phase-dependent changes in local dynamic stability during walking in elderly with and without knee osteoarthritis KU Leuven
Previously, we reported reduced time-averaged knee local stability, in the unaffected, but not the affected leg of elderly with knee osteoarthritis OA compared to controls. Since stability may show phase-related changes, we reanalyzed the dataset reported previously using time-dependent local stability, λ(t), and also calculated time-averaged local stability, λs, for comparison. We studied treadmill walking at increasing speeds, focusing on ...
