Relation of Temporal Asymmetry During Walking to Two‐Year Knee Pain Outcomes in Those With Mild‐to‐Moderate Unilateral Knee Pain: An Exploratory Analysis From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Authors' conclusion
For those with unilateral knee pain, temporal asymmetry during walking is not associated with pain severity. However, select measures of stance and single-limb support time during self-selected and fast walking relate to longitudinal knee pain outcomes.
Study context

- Adults with or at risk for knee OA with mild-to-moderate unilateral knee pain
- Comparison
- Limb symmetry indices (stance, single-limb support, double-limb support time) during self-selected and fast walking vs knee pain outcomes
- Primary endpoint
- Incident contralateral knee pain and persistent ipsilateral knee pain
- Follow-up
- 2 years
Methodological detailsexploratory analysis, cross-sectional and longitudinal
- Exploratory analysis
- Cross-sectional and longitudinal
