Applied Assessment Method for Varus Thrust during Walking in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis Using Acceleration Data Measured by an Inertial Measurement Unit
We developed a novel quantitative method to assess varus thrust during walking using acceleration data obtained from an inertial measurement unit (IMU). This study aimed to examine the reliability of the developed index and to evaluate its ability to distinguish patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA...

description | We developed a novel quantitative method to assess varus thrust during walking using acceleration data obtained from an inertial measurement unit (IMU). This study aimed to examine the reliability of the developed index and to evaluate its ability to distinguish patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) with varus thrust from healthy adults. Overall, 16 patients with knee OA and 16 healthy adults walked on a treadmill with IMUs attached to the tibial tuberosity and lateral femoral condyle. As an index of varus thrust, we used the root mean square (RMS) of acceleration in the mediolateral direction. This value was adjusted by dividing it by swing speed while walking (adjusted RMS, A-RMS) because the RMS of the acceleration was strongly coupled with the speed of motion. The intraclass correlation coefficients of A-RMS of the tibia and femur were 0.85 and 0.73, respectively. Significant differences were observed in the A-RMSs of the tibia and femur, with large effect sizes between the patients with knee OA and healthy adults (Cohen’s d: 1.23 and 0.97, respectively). Our results indicate that A-RMS has good test–retest reproducibility and can differentiate patients with varus thrust from healthy adults. |
