Knee kinetics using dxa-mass inverse dynamics in gait, cycling, and elliptical training

Knee kinetics using participant-specific body segment masses (BSMs) have not been predicted for cycling (C) and elliptical training (E). In this study, participants underwent gait (G), C, and E motion analysis experiments. Kinetics were computed with mass ratios scaled from total body mass (scaled ID) and calculated using participant-specific segment masses determined from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans (DXA-mass ID). Only knee adduction torque predictions during C differed (p=0.03) between the two ID analyses.
