For patients presenting knee pain coming from osteoarthritis (OA), non-pharmacological
conservative treatments (eg, physical therapy interventions) are among the first methods in …

Measures of human movement dynamics can predict outcomes like injury risk or
musculoskeletal disease progression. However, these measures are rarely quantified in …

Background Musculoskeletal modelling is a common means by which to non-invasively
analyse movement. Such models have largely been used to observe function in both healthy …

Humans typically coordinate their muscles to meet movement objectives like minimizing
energy expenditure. In the presence of pathology, new objectives gain importance, like …

The mechanical environment of the joint during dynamic activity plays a significant role in
osteoarthritis processes. Understanding how the magnitude, pattern and duration of joint …

Background. Valgus braces are prescribed as a common conservative treatment option for
patients with medial gonarthrosis to improve their quality of life. Many studies had reviewed …

Objective: Off-loader knee braces have traditionally focused on redistributing loads away
from either the medial or lateral tibiofemoral (TF) compartments. In this article, we study the …

Meniscus root tears are important to recognize early given their potentially devastating
consequences on joint health. This injury results in the lost ability of the meniscus to transfer …

Lateral wedges are a common conservative treatment for medial knee osteoarthritis (OA).
However, use of lateral wedges might increase the ankle eversion moment. To minimize the …

Objective Considering the osteoarthritis (OA) model that integrates the biological,
mechanical, and structural components of the disease, the present study aimed to …
