Document Summary

Lab - point of application** important: airflow is related to path in which it flies, make sure arrow lengths are proper. We have to organize the arrows(forces) in the proper magnitude and direction. Spin = difference in pressures and wind velocity. Medial compartment of knee most commonly affected. Risk factors include: genetics, age, sex, obesity. Will affect 21% of canadians by 2026 (1 in 5 people) 50% canadians under 75 have activity limitations, 40% of these need assistance. Increased care: more time seeking treatment, lost wages. Reduce an individual to their kinetics and kinematics. We (cid:272)a(cid:374) take this i(cid:374)fo to (cid:272)o(cid:373)pare it to o(cid:271)je(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e (cid:373)easures.

Knee adduction moment: strength of the grf, distance from knee (center of rotation, characteristics of your body. **direct relationship between a knee adduction moment and osteoarthritis.
