This experimental study demonstrated that 15° IR of the tibial shaft increased contact pressure and 15° ER decreased contact pressure over the knee medial compartment.

The current study demonstrated partial fibulectomy at 12 cm above lateral malleolus results in decreasing pressure in knee medial compartment and increasing pressure in knee lateral compartment. Further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical importance of partial fibulectomy.

Backpacks cause some bad effects on kinematics of gait. In this study, by testing modified backpacks, some improvements were seen, specifically in posture, which may be useful to reduce side effects of backpack carrying.
