@entity1 @entity625 @entity158
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this work was to study movement control strategies in @entity1 with @entity625 . These strategies were expected to be different from healthy subjects because of deficiencies due to @entity625 (i.e. @entity158 , altered proprioception). METHOD: A kinetic and kinematic analysis was performed in a population of 10 @entity1 with @entity625 and in 11 age-matched control subjects, using an ELITE system and two AMTI force-plates. The different phases of a side step were studied. RESULTS: The timing of the movement was different in the two populations. The postural phase was longer and the monopodal phase was shorter in @entity625 @entity1 when the affected leg was the supporting one than when the sound leg was supporting. Total step duration and landing-stabilization phase duration were longer in @entity625 @entity1 than in healthy subjects. CONCLUSION: This movement analysis method enables to determine and to quantify differences between @entity625 @entity1 and control subjects. Clinical examination cannot identify these differences. Movement analysis methods bring up additional information to usual clinical evaluation scales and could be used for evaluation of the results of total knee arthroplasty.
