Change in serum COMP concentration due to ambulatory load is not related to knee OA status.

30 Oct 2009 The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a change in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentration is related to joint load during a 30-min walking exercise in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) ... Read more...

Medial knee joint loading increases in those who respond to hyaluronan injection for medial knee osteoarthritis.

30 Oct 2009 Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a cause of decline in function and the medial compartment is often affected. Intraarticular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) is indicated as a symptom modifying treatment with at least 6 months passing between ... Read more...

Lower extremity walking mechanics of young individuals with asymptomatic varus knee alignment.

30 Oct 2009 Varus knee alignment is associated with an increased risk for developing medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Medial knee OA is commonly associated with altered walking mechanics in the frontal and sagittal planes, as well as altered ground reaction ... Read more...
