Table 1 The mean toe‐out angle, and the maximum, first and second peak external knee adduction moment (% body weight×height) for all knees and for progressing vs non‐progressing knees.
All knees, mean (SD) | Progressing knees, mean (SD) | Non‐progressing knees, mean (SD) | Difference between progressing and non‐progressing knees (95% CI of difference) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Toe‐out angle (°) | 21.3 (6.9) | 18.1 (8.4) | 22.5 (6.0) | –4.4 (–8.5 to –0.3) p = 0.03 |
Maximum knee adduction moment | 2.92 (0.86) | 3.39 (0.82) | 2.74 (0.81) | 0.65 (0.15 to 1.14) p = 0.01 |
First peak knee adduction moment | 2.91 (0.85) | 3.37 (0.83) | 2.74 (0.81) | 0.63 (0.14 to 1.12) p = 0.01 |
Second peak knee adduction moment | 2.06 (0.84) | 2.53 (0.96) | 1.88 (0.73) | 0.64 (0.16, 1.13) p = 0.01 |
A 95% CI for the difference that excludes 0 is statistically significant.
