Evaluation of foot position and orientation as manipulated variables to control external knee adduction moments in leg extension training
• External knee adduction moments need to be avoided in leg extension training.• Musculoskeletal models are used to estimate joint moments.• Foot position and orientation in frontal plane can influence knee adduction moments.• Leg extension training can be improved with an active control of adduction moments.• Foot position and orientation are suitable as manipulated variables.
