Abstract:BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis (OA) causes structural joint damage. The resultant symptoms can impair the ability to recover from unexpected gait perturbations, contributing to an increased fall risk. This study compared reactive stepping responses to gait perturbations between individuals with knee OA and healthy individuals.MethodsKinematic data of 35 individuals with end-stage knee OA, and 32 healthy individuals in the same age range were obtained during perturbed walking on a treadmill at 1.0 m/s.
