To determine the tensile forces across the knee extensor mechanism during walking, in simulated conditions of treatment. Gait analysis of six normal subjects was performed, with full weight bearing unilateral immobilisation of the knee during walking. Measurements were taken without then with a brace, unlocked then locked at 0°, 0-10°, 0-20° and 0-30° of flexion. Mean and maximum knee flexion angles were measured, followed by calculation of the mean and maximum forces across the extensor mechanism during loading, supporting and propulsion phases of gait.Aim
