Movement coordination deficits: May be seen in people with internal rotation of the knees (genu valgus), which results in the impaired ability to regulate movement during actions such as jogging or squatting (poor knee alignment or knock knees may be a cause among runners) Mobility impairments:...
AlignmentCutting blockNavigationPinlessPurpose In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), intramedullary guides are often used for aligning the distal femoral cutting block. Because of the highly varying angles between the mechanical axis and the anatomical femoral axis (AMA), different valgus pre-sets have ...
mechanical valgus alignment.#Patients predominantly desire a straight knee postoperatively, however, most patients tend to perceive some varus alignment as straight. This is most common in patients with up to 5 degrees of varus deformity and suggests that a restricted or inverse kinematic alignment ...
Osteectomy involves the surgical removal of bone; osteotomy is the cutting or reshaping of bone, often to correct alignment.
Overpronation can cause and exacerbate heel, arch, ball and general foot pain as well as lead to bunions, neuromas, shin, knee, hip and back pain. Metatarsus Atavicus If your first metatarsal, which ends at the ball of your big toe, is shorter than the second and in some cases hyper...
ankle dorsiflexion mainly achieve toe clearance. By the way, reduction of toe clearance of the affected foot derived from ankle joint disability causes the abnormal movement of knee and hip hike to compensate for the ankle movement. It is a major cause of falls in patients with foot drop ...
I am a 60 year old female. Within the last year i have noticed my right knee is turning in and touching my left knee when standing. My leg between my knee and ankle hurts when i walk or stand for awhile. Is there any exercise or something i can do to fix this? I don`t have ...

Knee biomechanicsDynamic knee valgusBackground: "Dynamic knee valgus" has been identified as a risk factor for significant knee injuries, however, the limits and sources of error associated with existing 3D motion analysis methods have not been well established....
