Abstrakt: Using the non-affected leg as stable frame of reference for the affected leg in gait assessment in knee osteoarthritis (KO) fails due to compensatory mechanisms. Assessing the cyclical movements of the upper extremities in a frequency-controlled repetitive punching task may provide an alternative frame of reference in gait assessment in patients with KO. Eleven participants with unilateral KO and eleven healthy controls were asked to perform treadmill walking and repetitive punching. The KO group showed more predictable ( p  = 0.020) and less automatized ( p  = 0.007) movement behavior than controls during treadmill walking. During repetitive punching, the KO group showed a similar degree of predictability ( p  = 0.784) but relative more automatized movement behavior ( p  = 0.013). Thus, the predictability of the movement behavior of the upper extremities during repetitive punching seems unaffected by KO and could provide an alternative frame of reference in gait assessment in patients with KO.
