Knee OA patients: lateral trunk lean gait walking expends more energy than normal walking
Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2014 Feb;22(2):203-9. doi: 10.1016/j.joca.2013.12.003.

Results found that lateral trunk lean walking significantly increased steady-state oxygen consumption, metabolic equivalents, heart rate, and perceived exertion, but did not influence knee pain compared to normal walking.
