High tibial osteotomy becomes increasingly important in the treatment of cartilage damage
or osteoarthritis of the medial compartment with concurrent varus deformity. HTO produces a …

Our incomplete understanding of osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis has significantly hindered
the development of disease-modifying therapy. The functional relationship between …

The assessment of knee or hip joint loading by external joint moments is mainly used to
draw conclusions on clinical decision making. However, the correlation between internal …

Early detection of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) can improve treatment outcomes and prevent its
progression. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the functional changes in early …

Abnormal mechanical loading is essential in the onset and progression of knee
osteoarthritis. Combined musculoskeletal (MS) and finite element (FE) modeling is a typical …

Cartilage is responsive to the loading imposed during cyclic routine activities. However, the
local relation between cartilage in terms of thickness distribution and biochemical …

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the functional role of each head of the
triceps brachii muscle, depending on the angle of shoulder elevation, and to compare each …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a crucial role in enzymatically digesting cartilage
extracellular matrix (ECM) components, resulting in degraded cartilage with altered …

Background Assessment of contact forces is essential for a better understanding of
mechanical factors affecting progression of osteoarthritis. Since contact forces cannot be …
