Mechanics play a role in the initiation, progression, and successful treatment of
osteoarthritis. However, we don't yet know enough about which specific mechanical …

Bioemchanics of the entire knee joint including tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints were
investigated at different flexion angles (0° to 90°) and quadriceps forces (3, 137, and 411 N) …

Abstract Slater, LV, and Hart, JM. Muscle activation patterns during different squat
techniques. J Strength Cond Res 31 (3): 667–676, 2017—Bilateral squats are frequently …

Acute and chronic trauma, chronic abnormal joint loading conditions, and hemarthroses
have been implicated in the development of degenerative joint disease. Patellar instability …

Background: Patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty remains controversial. The aim of
this study was to compare outcomes following total knee arthroplasty with patellar …

Background Accurately measuring in-vivo motion of the knee's patellofemoral (PF) joint is
challenging. Conventional measurement techniques have largely been unable to accurately …

Patellar tracking during in vivo weightbearing knee function is not well understood. This
study investigated patellar tracking of eight subjects during a full range of weightbearing …

BACKGROUND: Most in vivo knee kinematic analyses are based on external markers
attached to the shank and the thigh. Literature data show that markers positioning and soft …

MR‐based methods provide low risk, noninvasive assessment of joint kinematics; however,
these methods often use static positions or require many identical cycles of movement. The …

Cartilage lesion of the patellofemoral joint is a common and challenging disease of the knee
and an important cause of anterior knee pain. There are many naturally occurring variations …
