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 | – |
| Vertical GRF (% body weight) | 107 (7) | 116 (10) | 0.03 | 0.9 |
| Push-off phase | ||||
| Knee extension moment (Nm/kg) | 0.39 (0.1) | 0.55 (0.1) | 0.02 | 1.1 |
| Hip extension moment (Nm/kg) | 0.86 (0.4) | 1.18 (0.2) | 0.04 | 1 |
| Hip adduction moment (Nm/kg) | 0.77 (0.1) | 0.77 (0.1) | 0.98 | – |
| Vertical GRF (% body weight) | 108 (7) | 116 (9) | 0.09 | – |
Bold p values indicate a significant between-group difference
