The functional behavior of two kinematically different knee arthroplasty systems within each subject was studied by gait analysis (three-dimensional kinematics, kinetics, dynamic electromyography) in five elderly patients, 2 to 5 years after bilateral surgery. Clinical results were good, yet gait ve...
