Abstract
ALFONSO-MORA, Margareth Lorena and AVILA-BARON, Adolfo. Kinematic Changes of Gait in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis by Different Weight bearings. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.3, pp.319-329. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/dx.doi.org/10.12804/revsalud12.03.2014.02.
Objective: To describe the differences in kinematic gait variables in women over sixty years of age with knee osteoarthritis by different weight bearings. Material and Methods: Phanel longitudinal research design with convenience sampling probabilistic n = 16 women, aged > 60 years, obesity and knee osteoarthritis, control weight bearing was performed by a locomotive rehabilitation platform that measured gait three times with weights of 100%, 90% and 80%. Results: The movement ranges in certain gait phases were different for bearings of used weight p < 0.05; for angular speed and acceleration no statistically significant differences were found. Conclusions: The different weight bearings for this research represented a variable that significantly change the kinematic gait variables.
