Knee loading in OA subjects is correlated to flexion and adduction moments and to contact point locations

Abstract This study evaluated the association of contact point locations with the knee medial and lateral contact force (Fmed, Flat) alterations in OA and healthy subjects. A musculoskeletal model of the lower limb with subject-specific tibiofemoral contact point trajectories was used to estimate th...
