Association of Baseline Knee Sagittal Dynamic Joint Stiffness during Gait and 2-Year Cartilage Damage Progression in Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Background/Purpose: While patellofemoral (PF) OA has been found to have substantial impact on pain and function, most studies continue to focus on tibiofemoral (TF)…Abstract Number: 2389 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relation of Pronated Foot Posture to Risk of Worsening Knee Pain during Gait and Compartment-Specific Knee Cartilage Damage
Background/Purpose: Pronated foot posture is prevalent in older adults with knee cartilage damage and younger adults with knee pain. Yet, there is disagreement about the…Abstract Number: 2390 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Foot Kinematics and Foot Center of Pressure and Their Association with Medial Knee Load Reduction with Use of Flexible Shoes in Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Biomechanical treatments for medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) often target the knee adduction moment (KAM). Foot-mediated biomechanical interventions for knee OA may operate through altering…Abstract Number: 2945 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Foot Structure and Function Show Associations with Lower Extremity Physical Function
Background/Purpose . Foot pain is associated with poorer physical function in older adults, but few studies have examined how foot structure (high / low arches) and…Abstract Number: 2861 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Changes in Knee Kinematics from a 6-Week Hip and Trunk Strengthening Program for Persons with Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Patellofemoral (PF) osteoarthritis (OA) is prevalent in middle-aged adults. Aberrant lower extremity (LE) biomechanics is one etiology of knee OA. Reduced peak knee flexion…Abstract Number: 2245 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Characteristics of Conventional Footwear and Their Association with Reductions in Knee Loading with a Flexible Footwear Intervention
Background/Purpose: The peak external knee adduction moment (KAM) as measured through gait analyses has been associated with severity, progression and pain in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA);…Abstract Number: 973 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relation of Pelvic Drop during Walking to Risk of Incident Medial Knee Osteoarthritis: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: During walking, the contralateral pelvis tends to drop as the weight bearing limb enters midstance. If excessive, pelvic drop (PD) can result in increased…Abstract Number: 212 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relation of Shoe Stability to Risk of Knee Cartilage Damage: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: Clinical guidelines recommend that “every patient with knee osteoarthritis should receive advice concerning appropriate footwear”, yet the recommended content of this advice is not…Abstract Number: 2153 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Arrest Of Progressive Loss Of Vibratory Perception In Knee Osteoarthritis: Effects Of a 48 Week Biomechanical Intervention
Background/Purpose: Somatosensory function has been shown to be altered in knee osteoarthritis (OA); for example, we previously observed that in knee OA there are…Abstract Number: 2154 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Improvement In Clinical Symptoms After 48 Weeks Of Wearing Flexible Footwear In Osteoarthritis Of Knee: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a major cause of pain and disability. Biomechanical interventions that reduce dynamic loading are…Abstract Number: 1761 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Link Of Foot Structure and Foot Function With Falls: The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project
Background/Purpose: Nearly 1/3 of older adults experience at least one fall annually in the United States. Foot type (static and dynamic arch height) is…
