Increased trunk kinetics observed during subject-specific lateral trunk lean gait modification

Subject-specific lateral trunk lean (LTL) gait modification (GM) decreased knee abduction moment (KAM) magnitude on average by 8.9%, although not statistically significant. There was a concurrent increase in trunk kinetics, which is indicative of increased spinal loading. Over prolonged periods, exposure to increased trunk moment and impulse could result in unfavourable long-term consequences.
