Abstract

BACKGROUND: The knee adduction moment, a biomechanical risk factor of knee osteoarthritis, is typically measured in a gait laboratory with expensive equipment and inverse dynamics modeling software. We aimed to develop a framework for a portable knee adduction moment estimation for healthy female individuals using deep learning neural networks and custom instrumented insole and evaluated its accuracy compared to the standard inverse dynamics approach.
