The muscles of the lower limb, particularly the quadriceps, play an important role in the
genesis and management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). At the knee, muscles function to …

The classification and monitoring of individuals with early knee osteoarthritis (OA) are
important considerations for the design and evaluation of therapeutic interventions and …

Personalized neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) models can represent the neurological,
physiological, and anatomical characteristics of an individual and can be used to estimate …

Estimating tibiofemoral joint contact forces is important for understanding the initiation and
progression of knee osteoarthritis. However, tibiofemoral contact force predictions are …

Objective To identify which gait deviations are consistently associated with knee
osteoarthritis (KOA) and how these are influenced by disease severity, the involved …

Objective To evaluate 1) the relationship between the knee contact force (KCF) and knee
adduction and flexion moments (KAM and KFM) during normal gait in people with medial …

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and incapacitating disease affecting a large portion of
the elderly population, for which no cure exists. There is a critical need to enhance our …

Background As knee osteoarthritis (OA) cannot be cured, treatments that slow structural
