popular activity worldwide, but data regarding its association with osteoarthritis (OA) are …

Background Running is a popular activity practiced worldwide. It is important to understand
how running affects joint health to provide recommendations to sports medicine practitioners …

The in vivo measurement of articular cartilage deformation is essential to understand how
mechanical forces distribute throughout the healthy tissue and change over time in the …

Mechanical loading to the knee joint results in a differential response based on the local
capacity of the tissues (ligament, tendon, meniscus, cartilage, and bone) and how those …

Objectives Recapitulating the mechanical properties of articular cartilage (AC) is vital to
facilitate the clinical translation of cartilage tissue engineering. Prior to evaluation of tissue …

Meniscal tears are common injuries, and while partial meniscectomy is a frequent treatment
option, general meniscus loss is a risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis. The goal …

Background: Altered local mechanical loading may disrupt normal cartilage homeostasis
and play a role in the progression of osteoarthritis. Currently, there are limited data …

Objective To determine the magnitude of medial femoral cartilage deformation using
ultrasonography (US) following walking and running in healthy individuals. Design Twenty …

Background The general health benefits of running are well-established, yet concern exists
regarding the development and progression of osteoarthritis. Aim To systematically review …

Introduction Regular exercise protects against degenerative joint disorders, yet the
mechanisms that underlie these benefits are poorly understood. Chronic, low-grade …
