Squatting, lunging and kneeling provided similar kinematic profiles in healthy knees-A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on deep knee flexion kinematics

摘要

Background: Understanding healthy deep flexion kinematics will inform the design of conservative clinical rehabilitation strategies for knee osteoarthritis and contribute to improved knee prosthesis design. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the kinematic outcomes measured at the healthy tibiofemoral joint during loaded deep knee flexion.
