Background Neuromuscular deficits are common following knee injuries and may contribute
to early-onset post-traumatic osteoarthritis, likely mediated through quadriceps dysfunction …

Background Aging is often associated with changes in the musculoskeletal system,
peripheral and central nervous system. These age-related changes often result in mobility …

Lower-extremity muscle strength and afferent sensory dysfunction, such as reduced
proprioceptive acuity, are potentially modifiable putative risk factors for knee osteoarthritis …

Tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA), the most common cause of disability in the United States,
affects 30% of Americans older than 55 yr, yet little is known regarding the mechanistic …

Partial meniscectomy for meniscus tears is one of the most common procedures performed
by orthopaedic surgeons. Much research has been done to evaluate the biomechanical …

Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent disease capable of being a
potent source of knee symptoms. Although anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and …

This paper explores the use of biomechanics in identifying the mechanistic causes of
musculoskeletal tissue injury and degeneration. It appraises how biomechanics has been …

BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to determine if increasing strength in primary
knee extensors and flexors would directly affect net knee joint moments during a common …

Study Design Clinical measurement, cross-sectional. Background Quadriceps deficits are
common in individuals with knee joint impairments and impact functional and quality-of-life …

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has become an established technique for the
repair of full-thickness chondral defects in the knee. Matrix-induced ACI (MACI) is the third …
