Study Notes
- The knee is relatively stable in the frontal plane due to its articular geometry and strong collateral ligaments.
- Knee movements were measured in three-dimensions using reflective markers and infrared cameras.
- The knee has minimal and inconsistent abduction-adduction movement during the first 80% of stance phase.
- Approximately 5 degrees of knee adduction occurs in most individuals during the last 20% of stance phase.
- The knee is in an average of 1.2 degrees of abduction (valgus) at the time of heel contact.
- This alignment remains unchanged throughout the stance phase.
- The knee typically abducted an additional 5 degrees during initial swing phase.
- Maximum abduction occurred when the knee was near its maximum flexion angle.
- The knee returned to its slightly abducted position before the next heel contact.
- Studies using skin-mounted markers are generally associated with greater error.
