Screw-Home Movement of the Tibiofemoral Joint during Normal Gait: Three-Dimensional Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Paradoxical screw-home movement may be an important mechanism that provides stability to the knee joint during the remaining stance phase. Obtaining the kinematic values of the knee joint during gait can be useful in diagnosing and treating the pathological knee joints. PMID: 26330951 [PubMed - in process]
