# Knee Dominant

> Binary indicator if swing is knee-dominant, determined by comparing rear knee flexion with hip and ankle angle at launch event.

## Technical Details

* **Variable Type:** Discrete Metric
* **Data Type:** Boolean
* **Units:** True/False (1/0)
* **Column Name:** `knee_dominant_swing`
* **Aggregation:** rate
* **Precision:** 0
* **Optimal Direction:** Lower is better
* **Unknown Value:** -1
* **Timing:** At launch event

## Description

Knee dominant indicates a swing pattern where the lower body mechanics are primarily driven by the knees rather than the hips, which can limit power generation and efficiency.

## Use Cases

* Lower body mechanics analysis
* Power generation assessment
* Hip mobility evaluation
* Technique correction
