Table 5. Effect of 2 SD increase of body mass and lower limb length on peak net moments at the hip, knee and ankle evaluated as a change from the mean value in N m and percentages.
| Manipulated parameter | ΔParameter | ΔPeak net joint moment (N m) | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hip | Knee | Ankle | |||||||||||
| Flex | Ext | Flex | Ext | Plant | Dors | ||||||||
| Body mass | +29 kg (41%) | 22.5 | (41%) | 33.6 | (42%) | 8.3 | (43%) | 12.0 | (43%) | 5.5 | (41%) | 38.8 | (42%) |
| Lower limb length | +126 mm (15%) | 10.9 | (20%) | 13.7 | (17%) | 3.4 | (18%) | −3.8 | (13%) | 0.2 | (2%) | 1.1 | (1%) |
| Body mass + foot length | +29 kg (41%); +15 mm (6%) | 21.9 | (40%) | 34.4 | (43%) | 7.4 | (39%) | 19.8 | (71%) | 7.3 | (55%) | 51.7 | (56%) |
| Lower limb length + foot length | +126 mm (15%); +18 mm (7%) | 10.6 | (19%) | 14.7 | (18%) | 2.6 | (14%) | 1.5 | (5%) | 1.5 | (11%) | 10.0 | (11%) |
Notes: positive values indicate increase of the peak moment, negative values indicate decrease of the peak moment; flex, flexion; ext, extension; plant, plantarflexion; dors, dorsiflexion.
