Technical Details
- Variable Type: Movement Flag
- Data Type: Integer
- Units: N/A
- Column Name:
loading_phase_knee_asymmetry - Optimal Direction: Lower is better
- Unknown Value: -1
- Measurement: Difference between Loading Phase Max Knee Flexion Front Leg and Loading Phase Max Knee Flexion Back Leg
- Threshold: Front-to-back knee flexion difference greater than 15°
Description
Loading phase knee asymmetry is a binary indicator that flags when there is more than a 15° difference in maximum knee flexion between the front and back legs during the loading phase, which can indicate an uneven weight distribution or loading pattern between the legs.Use Cases
- Lower-body load distribution assessment
- Mechanics evaluation
