Clinical Study
The Effect of Hip Bracing on Gait in Patients with Medial Knee Osteoarthritis
Table 1
Peak kinematic data: brace versus no brace (mean ± standard deviation) (degrees).
| Variable | No brace | Brace | value |
| Peak hip flexion angle | 35.7° (9.8) | 35.3° (10.8) | 0.43 | Peak hip ER angle | 8.1° (11.6) | 9.4° (15.0) | 0.56 | Peak knee flexion angle | 31.6° (9.5) | 30.2° (12.0) | 0.46 | Peak knee abduction angle | 3.8° (3.4) | 3.6° (3.4) | 0.44 | Peak toe out angle | −0.9° (10.8) | −1.7° (12.2) | 0.22 |
