Abstract
Background: Patients with knee osteoarthritis often feel unstable, suffering from buckling (giving way) or even falling. This study aimed at characterising such instability, and following it over time. Methods: We investigated treadmill walking in knee osteoarthritis, focusing on angular velocity of sagittal plane knee movements. Knee osteoarthritis patients were followed 1 year after replacement surgery, and were compared to healthy peers. Subjects walked at increasing speeds, and maximum speed was registered. To quantify stability, we calculated short-term (λ
