| Abstract | We compared the mechanics of gait in 13 patients with early medial arthrosis (OA) of the knee and 13 normal controls, by measuring gait events, kinematic and kinetic parameters. In the OA group, walking velocity, cadence and stride length were reduced and stride time and double support time accordingly increased on both sides, the overall stance phase was prolonged in the OA group, but the stance phase and swing phase peak flexion were reduced. The varus in the stance phase and the valgus in the swing phase were increased. The extensor moment in the loading response was increased and the flexor moment at late stance reduced in the OA group. Patients with OA had a greater valgus (abductor) and internal rotation moment during the stance phase. The times to second vertical force peak (VFP) were similar in the two groups. Values of VFP1 and VFP2 were lower in the OA group. Our findings indicate that computerized gait analysis can be used to reveal various mechanical abnormalities accompanying arthrosis of the knee joint at an early stage. Some of these abnormalities may have etiologic implications, but others may represent secondary changes developed in part as a compensatory mechanism in knee OA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
