Synopsis
12 patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis participated in two treadmill interventions: one session of normal treadmill walking and one session of increased lateral trunk lean walking, in randomized order, to determine the effect of lateral trunk lean gait modification on energy expenditure. Results found that lateral trunk lean walking significantly increased steady-state oxygen cons...
