HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Lateral thrust (LT) refers to an abnormal knee joint motion in the early stance phase where the knee joint center moves laterally. Also known as varus thrust, LR is defined as the dynamic worsening or abrupt onset of varus (bow-leg) alignment as the limb accepts weight (stance phase), with a return to less varus and more neutral alignment during lift-off and the non-weight-bearing (swing) phase of gait, varus thrust is a potent mechanical risk factor for medial knee osteoarthritis progression.
Comment:LT visualized during walking is associated with a greater medial knee load and an increased risk of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Varus thrust
