Research Article: The knee kinematic patterns and associated factors in healthy Thai adults

Date Published: 2023-12-05

Abstract:
Reference values for normal knee kinematics were limited in Asian population and were influenced by race and other factors. This study was aimed to establish the reference values and identify the factors associated with knee kinematics in healthy Thai adults, aged 18–40 years.

Introduction:
The knee is the largest synovial hinge joint, which primarily allows flexion and extension as well as angulation, rotation, and translation to facilitate walking and perform activities [1]. The natural knee weight-bearing state during walking cannot be determined by simple physical examination and radiographs [2]. Three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis is widely used to evaluate knee movements in sagittal (flexion-extension), frontal (valgus or abduction-varus or adduction), and transverse planes…
