PurposeThe main objective of this study is to characterize the lower limb sagittal joint and elevation angles during walking in participants with asymptomatic genu recurvatum and compare it with control participants without knee deformation. The secondary objective is to study the influence of walking speed on these kinematic variables. MethodsThe spatio-temporal parameters and kinematics of the lower limb were recorded using an optoelectronic motion capture system in 26 partici-pants (n = 13 w...
