A Normative Database of Hip and Knee Joint Biomechanics during Dynamic Tasks using Anatomical Regression Prediction Methods

Many methodologies exist to predict the hip joint center (HJC), of which regression based on anatomical landmarks appear most common. Despite the fact that predicted HJC locations vary depending upon chosen method, inter-study comparisons and inferences about populations are commonly made. The purpose of this study was to create a normative database of hip and knee biomechanics during walking, running, and single leg landings based on five commonly utilized HJC methods to serve as a reference for inter-study comparisons.
