Differences in kinematic parameters during gait between the patients with knee osteoarthritis and healthy controls using an insole with a single inertial measurement unit: A case-control study

An insole with a single inertial measurement unit can detect differences in foot kinematics during gait between healthy controls and patients with knee osteoarthritis. Our findings indicate that patients with knee osteoarthritis exhibit dysfunction of push-off at toe-off and shock absorption at initial contact on the affected side.
