External Knee Adduction Moment

Progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA) has been shown to occur in the presence of an increased load at the medial compartment [1]. Current gait analysis techniques allow researchers to use inverse dynamic techniques to calculate external knee adduction moments. These moments correlate to varus knee stresses and increased load in the medial knee compartment. These abnormal stresses have been hypothesized to play a role in the destruction of articular cartilage [2]. Previous authors have suggested that walking velocity will affect the adduction moment and that decreasing walking speed may reduce the maximal knee external moment during gait [3]. Based on these previous findings, we investigated various walking speeds in subjects with mild, moderate and severe OA and the effect on the external knee adduction moment.

In this study, the effects of an exercise therapy comprising yoga exercises and medial-thrust gait (YogaMT) on lower-extremity kinetics, pain, and function in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis were investigated. Fifty-nine patients were randomly allocated to three treatment groups: (a) the YogaMT group practiced yoga exercises and medial thrust gait, (b) the knee-strengthening group performed quadriceps- and hamstring-strengthening exercises, and (c) the treadmill walking group practiced normal treadmill walking in 12 supervised sessions. The adduction and flexion moments of the hip, knee, and ankle; pain intensity; and 2-min walking test were assessed before and after treatment and at 1-month follow-up. The YogaMT group experienced a significant reduction in knee adduction moment. All groups showed significant improvement in pain and function. The YogaMT may reduce medial knee load in patients with knee osteoarthritis in the short term. A larger clinical trial is required to investigate the long-term outcomes of this intervention.
