Lower limb joints are subject to mechanical load during daily activities, such as gait, which is an important risk factor of osteoarthritis. Moreover, kinetics are known to be influenced by gait alterations in patients with osteoarthritis [1]. While skeletal parameters are known to determine gait kinematics [2], it is still unknown how skeletal parameters influence kinetic parameters.
