Gender differences of sagittal knee and ankle biomechanics during stair-to-ground descent transition.

Background Falls on stairs often result in severe injury and occur twice as frequently in women. However, gender differences in kinetics and kinematics during stair descent are unknown. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether gender differences of knee and ankle biomechanics exist in the sagitta...
