Locomotor function and achilles tendon moment arm in end-stage ankle osteoarthritis patients

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Achilles tendon moment arm (ATma) has previously been correlated with walking speed in slower walking older adults who were also heavier than faster walkers. Here we investigate the relationship between ATma and locomotor function in end-stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Performance on three locomotor tasks was positively associated with ATma among patients with the highest BMIs.
