Table 2.

Two- and three-dimensional kinematic data (degrees) for the knee-over-foot and knee-medial-to-foot groups, and between groups.

Kinematic variables (degrees) Knee-over-foot (n = 15) Knee-medial-to-foot (n = 10) Knee-over-foot vs knee-medial to foot

Mean (SE) Mean (SE) Mean difference (95% CI) p-value
2-D
Peak tibial angle § 86.3 (0.4) 89.0 (0.7) -2.7 (-4.2, -1.2) 0.001
Peak thigh angle § 81.2 (0.5) 77.4 (1.0) 3.8 (1.7, 5.9) 0.001
Peak knee varus-valgus* -5.0 (0.8) -11.6 (1.5) 6.6 (3.4, 9.7) < 0.001
3-D
Peak hip rotation† 4.8 (1.8) 10.6 (2.1) -5.8 (-11.6, -0.02) 0.049
Peak knee varus-valgus* -5.0 (1.2) -6.1 (1.8) 1.1 (-5.5, 3.2) 0.589

* Negative value = valgus, positive value = varus

† Negative value = external rotation, positive value = internal rotation

§ Angles reported relative to the horizontal, with lower values indicating the segment was more medially oriented at the knee
