Assessment of Knee Kinematics in Older Adults Using High-Speed Stereo Radiography

Conclusions: Pivoting and step descending during walking had greater internal–external rotation and anterior–posterior translation than normal gait. Internal–external rotation and anterior–posterior translation were shown to have greater activity dependence, whereas varus–valgus rotation was consistent across activities. These results were similar to prior measurements in younger cohorts, though a trend toward reduced range of motion in the older adults was observed.
