Hello,
could you tell me if the movement of my knees is correct or am I making a mistake or maybe I have to adjust something?

if you mean you're left knee kicking out to the side each time you step then, no that's not right.  Something in you're stilt must be loose or misaligned.

I agree.  That is very bad for your side (lateral) knee ligaments and you risk tearing them if you jump and land with any force that way.

That doesn't look good somethings not right  Undecided

First thing to do is check for a loose spring. Grab the fame and try moving the spring, the bolts holding it maybe loose.

Check the hoof it to could be loose or have a object stuck on it.

Check the rest of the frame for looses nut and bolts and even damage ( cracks or bends ) also see if an object is stuck in the frame.

One test to see if YOU and not the stilts is swop the stilts over, if the problem isn't on the other foot it's your knee !

I'm guessing it is the same old bushing problem in the "elbow" joint below the foot platform.  The inner frame has probably distorted inward at the bushing, leaving a gap between the inner and outer frame at that joint.  If so, it would cause the joint to bend slightly to the side and pull the entire stilt outward, applying an outward force to the knee.

I just don't know where to find a good photo close-up of that frame/bushing distortion situation that I have seen posted in the past - if someone can help with that.

BTW - Your English is fine.

Thanks to everyone for the support, I checked the structure and everything seems OK, bolts, screws, etc ... My powerstrider are new.
Following, I send you a picture of a setting that I made, adjusting bolts and slightly tilting the support base of the feet have improved, at least it seems, the situation.
Tomorrow I'll try to make a video and you'll know.

It looks like you have spotted the problem, your footplate twisted !
The rods can be adjusted but be care full not to over adjust them too much. There are a number of topics on here about TWISTED , WARPED and BENT footplates use the " Search " option at the very top of the page to help.

I have a topic which may be of use to you unfortunately it's not on here but on here.
