Oxford Partial Knee Kinematics Gait Analysis Study

Investigation of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty and Functional, Daily Activities: A Quantitative Assessment of Gait, Sit-to-Stand, and Stair Climbing

The objective of this study is to compare the effect on gait of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), using the Oxford Partial Knee, versus normal knee.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with medial knee compartment arthritis

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with diagnoses other than osteoarthritis (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, etc.)
• Patients with significant diseases of other joints of the lower extremity
• Patients with a diagnosed disorder with gait disturbance (e.g. lower extremity weakness, prior lower extremity arthrodesis, diagnosed movement disorders, etc.).
