Table 3.

Joint moments and normalised vertical ground rection force (GRF) during level walking (separated in loading and push-off phase) for patients compared to controls. Data is presented as mean (standard deviation)

Patients Controls p value Cohen’s d
Loading phase
 Knee flexion moment (Nm/kg) 0.47 (0.2) 0.7 (0.2) 0.07
 Hip flexion moment (Nm/kg) 0.9 (0.5) 1.32 (0.3) 0.06
 Hip adduction moment (Nm/kg) 0.93 (0.2) 0.96 (0.1) 0.77
