Influence of Obesity on Knee Joint Mechanics: A Subject-Specific Musculoskeletal Modeling Approach
Obesity has been consistently linked to knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a debilitating joint disease. While prior work has shown that obese individuals often walk with altered biomechanics compared to normal-weight (NW) individuals, which may accelerate KOA progression, less is known about how these mechanics affect load di...
