Using a three-dimensional motion analysis system, kinematic and kinetic gait parameters were measured in 50 RA patients and 37 healthy controls. There was a significant reduction in joint motions, joint moments and work in the RA cohort compared with healthy controls. The following joint motions were decreased: hip flexion-extension range (Delta6 degrees ), hip abduction (Delta4 degrees ), knee flexion-extension range (Delta8 degrees ) and ankle plantarflexion (Delta10 degrees ). The following joint moments were reduced: hip extensor (Delta0.30Nm/kg) and flexor (Delta0.20Nm/kg), knee extensor (Delta0.11Nm/kg) and flexor (Delta0.13Nm/kg), and ankle plantarflexor (Delta0.44Nm/kg).
