Evaluation of predicted knee-joint muscle forces during gait using an instrumented knee implant.

29 Sep 2009 Musculoskeletal modeling and optimization theory are often used to determine muscle forces in vivo. However, convincing quantitative evaluation of these predictions has been limited to date. The present study evaluated model predictions of knee ... Read more...

Does loading influence the severity of cartilage degeneration in the canine Groove-model of OA?

29 Sep 2009 Many animal models are used to study osteoarthritis (OA). In these models the role of joint loading in the development of OA is not fully understood. We studied the effect of loading on the development of OA in the canine Groove-model. In ten female ... Read more...

Treadmill running exercise results in the presence of numerous myofibroblasts in mouse patellar tendons.

29 Sep 2009 Mechanical loading is known to alter tendon structure, but its cellular mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to determine the effect of mechanical loading on tendon cells in vivo. C57BL/6J female mice were used in a treadmill running study. The ... Read more...
