Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is closely correlated with biomechanics. Modern gait analysis for sole pressure distribution of KOA patients is little.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the gait characters of patients with different KOA during walking with normal speed and to investigate the cause for walking instability.
METHODS: To test the gait parameters of 22 patients in KOA when walking using the footscan® SCSI high frequency plate system.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Differences were found in the parameters of the patients in left knee pain, right knee and double knees pain including the gait phase, the contacting time between every plantar area and ground and foot balance. The gait parameters of the KOA patients reflect the unstable factors in walking.
