BACKGROUND:The foot and ankle are frequently affected in tophaceous gout, yet kinematic and kinetic changes in this region during gait are unknown. The aim of the study was to evaluate ankle biomechanical characteristics in people with tophaceous gout using three-dimensional gait analysis. METHODS:Twenty-four participants with tophaceous gout were compared with 24 age-and sex-matched control participants. A 9-camera motion analysis system and two floor-mounted force plates were used to calculate kinematic and kinetic parameters. RESULTS:Peak ankle joint angular velocity was significantly decreased in participants with gout (P < 0.01). No differences were found for ankle ROM in either the sagittal (P = 0.43) or frontal planes (P = 0.08). No differences were observed between groups for peak ankle joint power (P = 0.41), peak ankle joint force (P = 0.25), peak ankle joint moment (P = 0.16), timing for peak ankle joint force (P = 0.81), or timing for peak ankle joint moment (P = 0.16). CONCLUSIONS:Three dimensional gait analysis demonstrated that ankle joint function does not change in people with gout. People with gout demonstrated a reduced peak ankle joint angular velocity which may reflect gait-limiting factors and adaptations from the high levels of foot pain, impairment and disability experienced by this population. |
