Biomechanics.: During the exam to determine the nature of the bone marrow edema, all stones must be overturned. The examiner felt that your walking seemed a bit "funny" and could that observation be linked to your problem. Since observing can be a bit too subjective, another more analytical and objective way is to performing a motion analysis. Rather than looking at structure, they want to also look at function.
