| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gait analysis for osteoarthritis patients revealed that 1) variation in knee and hip motion during gait leads to different dynamic load, and that 2) difference in gait characteristics correlates with physical function such as muscle strength which is related to dynamic load. These results suggests that type specific physical therapy approach depending on gait characteristics may be useful for treatment of osteoarthritis. Our results also indicated that the use of unstable shoes for gait training, and high velocity resistance training may be effective for osteoarthritis patients.
