Abstract
To date orthopedist’s recommendations concerning high impact activities after knee arthroplasty
surgery such as running are rather based on conjectures than evidence based research. Hence this
study aimed to investigate walking and running locomotion of a female total knee arthroplasty patient
by means of an inverse dynamic approach. The results showed reduced knee adduction moments in
the affected knee and a redistribution of generated energy to the detriment of the hip joint during
running. The described results should be confirmed by further studies with larger cohorts. The primary
purpose should be to provide profound information to patients after knee arthroplasty surgery
regarding possibilities and limitations of high impact sports activities participation.
