Abstract
VELEZ-URIBE, José David et al. Hip adductor moment during gait in asymptomatic older adults. Univ. Salud [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.3, pp.255-262. Epub Sep 01, 2021. ISSN 0124-7107. https://doi.org/10.22267/rus.212303.239.
Introduction:
Although joint moment during waking has been associated with different clinical processes in the elderly population, there is a lack of reports in Colombia.
Objective:
To analyze the hip adductor moment during gait in asymptomatic older adults.
Materials and methods:
110 participants were assessed using the VICON NEXUS 2.8.1. Full Body model software. 2 force platforms were used and the capture volume was delimited through 8 Bonita-10 optoelectronic cameras. Anthropometric, sociodemographic, spatiotemporal, and kinetic variables were included during the support phase, highlighting the two maximum peaks of the adductor moment.
Results:
The figures for Adductor Moment Peaks 1 and 2 (AMP1 and AMP2) were 0.76 and 0.70 Nm/Kg, respectively, which were related to mass, height and body mass index. Thus, a reference for the analysis of asymptomatic older adults was developed.
Conclusion:
The hip adductor moment graph is similar to that described by other researchers, but to a lesser extent than the values seen in coxarthrosis symptomatic population.
