Knee arthrodesis is commonly performed to treat joint pain and instability in cases of multiple failed knee replacement surgeries, bone loss, traumatic injury, infection, or loss of the quadriceps extensor mechanism, but its mechanics are poorly understood. This study quantified the changes in gait kinematics and kinetics induced by simulating knee arthrodesis. A total of 10 healthy subjects (M/F, n = 5/5; aged 18-23) with no history of gait abnormalities were recruited for this study, and knee arthrodesis was simulated for 0 through 24 h using an immobilizing knee brace.
