Three-dimensional joint kinematic and two-dimensional quality of movement comparison between lateral and forward step-downs.

While lateral and forward step-down tasks are commonly used, they may have different kinematic and performance demands that could influence clinical assessment and rehabilitation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare 3D lower extremity kinematics and 2D quality of movement between the...

      ab: While lateral and forward step-down tasks are commonly used, they may have different kinematic and performance demands that could influence clinical assessment and rehabilitation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare 3D lower extremity kinematics and 2D quality of movement between the tasks. Cross-sectional comparative study. Research laboratory. Thirty healthy adults (18 females, age = 23.2 ± 1.4 years, BMI = 23.9 ± 2.2 kg/m2). Participants underwent 3D and 2D motion analysis. 3D variables were peak hip, knee, and ankle angles. Dichotomous clinical criteria were used for 2D assessment. An alpha level of 0.05 was used for statistical analyses. In the sagittal plane, the forward step-down averaged 7° more knee flexion (p < 0.001, d = 2.30) and 4° more ankle dorsiflexion (p < 0.001, d = 1.72), but 2° less hip flexion (p = 0.001, d = 0.64). In the frontal plane, forward step-downs averaged 1° more hip adduction (p = 0.006, d = 0.54) and 1° more ankle eversion (p < 0.001, d = 1.04). The forward step-down elicited 2D movement faults more often (p = 0.003). The increased knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion demands of the forward step-down were accompanied by increases in frontal plane aberrations. The forward step-down may be more challenging for individuals with reduced tolerance to loaded knee flexion and/or limited ankle mobility. • Forward step downs elicited increased 3D knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion. • Forward step downs showed increased 3D frontal plane aberrant motions. • Forward step downs elicited poorer 2D quality of movement. • Forward and lateral step downs did not differ in perceived task demands.
