本文报告了102例膝关节骨性关节炎患者的步态研究结果。通过6分钟步行距离测试测量功能状态;评估与步行测试相关的步幅特征。通过步幅分析仪测量步幅特征。患者被随机分配到一个为期8周的教育和步行计划（干预组）或每周一次的电话调查（对照组）。与对照组相比，干预组患者的步行距离增加了15%（P < 0.0001），自由步行速度下的步长增加了9.1%（P < 0.007），快速步行速度下的步长增加了17%（P < 0.01）。这项研究的结果表明，步行和教育计划是有效的，在改善膝关节骨关节炎患者的步态功能。
This paper reports the results of a study of the gait of 102 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Functional status was measured by a 6-min test of walking distance; the stride characteristics associated with the walk test were assessed. Stride characteristics were measured by a Stride Analyzer. Patients were randomized to an 8-week educational and walking program (the intervention group) or to a weekly telephone survey (the control group). The intervention group patients had a 15% increase in walking distance (P < 0.0001) and increases of 9.1% in stride length at free walking speeds (P < 0.007) and 17% in stride length at fast walking speeds (P < 0.01) compared to the control group. The results of this study have shown that the walking and educational program was effective in improving gait function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
