Heelstrike and the pathomechanics of osteoarthrosis: a simulation study.
A simulation model and trajectory matching method were developed to investigate the differences between two swing phase gait patterns; one giving rise to a large impulse at heelstrike, the other giving a small impulse. Subtle changes in the kinematics of the swing leg dramatically reduced the vertic...
