Abstract Purpose of Review The patellofemoral joint is a complicated articulation of the
patella and femur that is prone to pathologies. The purpose of this review is to report on the …

Accurate knowledge of knee joint motion is needed to evaluate the effects of implant design
on functional performance and component wear. We conducted a randomized controlled …

The Executive Council of the International Society of Biomechanics has initiated and
overseen the commemorations of the Society's 50th Anniversary in 2023. This included …

Accurate assessment of 3D tibio-femoral kinematics is essential for understanding knee joint
functionality, but also provides a basis for assessing joint pathologies and the efficacy of …

We combined computational modelling with experimental gait data to describe and explain
load distribution across the medial and lateral facets of the patella during normal walking …

Background and objective The dynamic characteristics of the intact knee joint are valuable
for treating knee osteoarthritis and designing knee prostheses. However, it remains a …

Objective Patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis (KOA) frequently alter their gait patterns
in an attempt to alleviate symptoms. Understanding the underlying pathomechanics and …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a very common knee joint injury. Torn ACLs are
currently reconstructed using tendon autografts. However, half of the patients develop …

Representative data of asymptomatic, native-knee kinematics is important when studying
changes in knee function across the lifespan. High-speed stereo radiography (HSSR) …

Background Obesity is a crucial factor that increases the risk of initiating and advancing
knee osteoarthritis. However, it remains unclear how obesity directly impacts the …
