88 Metrics of Knee OA Progression Knee OA Translational Research: We use cross-sectional and longitudinal progression models to understand how biomechanics change (during gait) with severity and progression of knee OA. We also study specific risk factors such as obesity, female sex, and in vivo measurements of physical activity to see how biomechanics change with these factors. We develop and use sophisticated mathematical tools Asymptomatic Moderate OA Severe OA Our goal is to design and validate metrics that can be captured easily either clinically or remotely based on the extensive scientific foundation we have developed. Kinematics The pattern of how individuals move their joints during gait changes with OA severity. We see lower peak angles and less range of motion throughout gait. Kinetics A key OA variable is the dynamic knee adduction moment during gait. This is the net resultant torque acting on the joint in the frontal plane attempting to push the joint into more varus ( bowlegged ) and subsequently loading the medial compartment of the joint. This loading tends to be higher and more sustained during gait in those with knee OA. Musculature Those with knee OA have altered neuromuscular control during gait, often characterized by higher and more sustained muscle activations, and often coactivation between muscles.
