Walking Energetics, Fatigue, and Physical Activity in People with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with limitations in physical activity (PA) for many reasons which are not fully understood. While pain can be associated with…Abstract Number: 313 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Effect of Obesity on Walking; Comparison of the Spatiotemporal, Kinematic and Kinetic Parameters of Young Obese and Non-Obese Healthy Women
Background/Purpose: Obesity is a risk factor for development of knee osteoarthritis due to altered gait biomechanics. Gait analysis was performed mostly on older obese adults…Abstract Number: 1867 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Can Vs. Do: Using Walking Speed and Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity to Predict Incident Low Health-Related Quality of Life and Disability
Background/Purpose: Walking speed is a measure of performance, i.e., what people “can” do, and is a known predictor of future health, disability, and mortality in…Abstract Number: 986 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sex-Specific Associations Between Improvement in Gait Mechanics and Improvement in Pain, Function, and Abductor Strength after Total Hip Arthroplasty
Background/Purpose: There are sex disparities in both utilization and outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA).1 Identification of sex-specific biomechanical factors related to outcomes could lead…Abstract Number: 2027 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association of Light and Moderate-to-Vigorous Walking with Incident Poor Health Outcomes over Two Years in People with or at High Risk of Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Regular engagement in physical activity reduces the risk adverse health outcomes such as cardiovascular diseases, functional limitation, and depression in people with knee osteoarthritis…Abstract Number: 2381 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Postural Stability in Adolescents with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Hypermobility Type) Following an Exercise Intervention
Background/Purpose: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) comprises a group of disorders marked by abnormal collagen function. In EDS Hypermobility Type (EDS-HT), major diagnostic findings involve joint hypermobility…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: 213 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Foot Center of Pressure in Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) and Its Association with Knee Load Reduction with Barefoot Walking
Background/Purpose: Biomechanical factors including excessive knee loading have been shown to be important in the pathophysiology, severity and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Several biomechanical…Abstract Number: 2152 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Predicting Benefit From Lateral Wedge Orthotics Using Radiographic Parameters In Medial Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Lateral wedge foot orthosis have been used therapeutically in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) with inconsistent results. The current theory suggests they reduce…
