Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To analyze and compare the knee joint kinematics during weight-bearing movements in normal knees group, mild osteoarthritis of the knee group, and severe osteoarthritis of the knee group using X-ray fluoroscopic kinematic analysis, in order to elucidate the changes in knee joint dynamics associated with the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee and to clarify part of the mechanism underlying the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

Treadmill walking, squats, stair climbing, and standing up movements are filmed using an X-ray fluoroscopy device, and dynamic analysis is performed to measure the knee joint's flexion angle, rotation angle, varus/valgus angle, and joint surface inclination angle.

Other

Other related information

Simple X-ray imaging of the knee joint, CT imaging, and MRI imaging if necessary for evaluation of ligaments or cartilage.
X-ray fluoroscopy to capture activities of daily living (knee flexion/extension, treadmill walking, squats, stair climbing, and standing up).
A 14-day observation period (7 days) is required for all procedures except MRI imaging.
Adverse events will be documented in the medical record and case report, including details such as content, onset and resolution timing, severity, management, outcome, severity assessment, dynamic analysis, and any association with CT imaging. Follow-up investigations will be conducted as needed. Severity will be defined as follows: 1) Mild: Condition allowing continued administration without intervention; 2) Moderate: Condition allowing continued administration with some intervention; 3) Severe: Condition requiring discontinuation of administration or indicating discontinuation should be considered.
