Application of Computational Lower Extremity Model to Investigate Different Muscle Activities and Joint Force Patterns in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients during Walking
Figure 6
Predicted knee joint forces: (a) compressive forces (positive, tensile force; negative, compressive force), (b) medial-lateral forces (positive, medial; negative, lateral), and (c) anterior-posterior forces (positive, posterior; negative, anterior) of OA patients and asymptomatic subjects, where the joint forces were averaged in both groups and scaled to each subject’s body weight (BW).
