Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that is more prevalent in women
than men, especially later in life. This suggests that sexual dimorphism may be present in …

Background An intriguing explanation for the disproportionately high rate of anterior cruciate
ligament injury in female athletes is that the structural properties of the anterior cruciate …

Musculoskeletal models are increasingly used to estimate medial and lateral knee contact
forces, which are difficult to measure in vivo. The sensitivity of contact force predictions to …

Background Knee bone shape differs between men and women and the incidence of knee
osteoarthritis (OA) is higher in women than in men. Therefore, the purpose of the present …

Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is more common in females than in males; however,
the biological mechanisms for the difference in sex in patients with knee OA are not well …

Objectives Risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is much higher in women than in men. Previous
studies have shown that bone shape is a risk factor for knee OA. However, few studies have …

BACKGROUND: Knee proprioception is an integral component of neuromuscular control
system that stabilizes the joints, reducing incidence of injury. Knee injuries' incidences differ …

Female runners are reported to be more prone to develop specific knee joint injuries than
males. It has been suggested that increased frontal plane joint loading might be related to …

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has been reported to have a higher
incidence in women than in men. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to examine the …

Objective It has been proposed that proprioceptive impairments observed in knee
osteoarthritis (OA) may be associated with disease‐related changes in joint mechanics. The …
