| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to elucidate how the patients with knee osteoarthritis affect joint coordination during gait. The results of this study reveal that the patients with knee osteoarthritis paid more attention to task achievement of toe clearance for swing leg than the stability of the center of mass in the lateral direction. This suggested that it can be caused by large inter-trial variations of the affected lower extremity. The implication is that it is important to reacquire the control of the center of mass in the lateral direction and to enhance the coordination of the affected lower extremity by improving the muscle function around the hip joint.
