Knee strength and knee adduction moments following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.
PURPOSE This study investigated the relationship between muscular strength about the knee and knee joint moments during gait in patients who had undergone arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). METHODS One hundred and two APM patients and 42 age-matched nonoperated controls underwent strength testing and three-dimensional gait analysis. Patients were divided into weak and normal subgroups a...
متن کاملMechanisms underpinning longitudinal increases in the knee adduction moment following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis is common following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and a higher external peak knee adduction moment is believed to be a contributor. The peak knee adduction moment has been shown to increase over 2 years (from 3-months post-arthroscopic partial meniscectomy). The aim of this study was to evaluate mechanisms underpinning the increase in peak knee adduction momen...
متن کاملDecreased knee adduction moment does not guarantee decreased medial contact force during gait.
Excessive contact force is believed to contribute to the development of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. The external knee adduction moment (KAM) has been identified as a surrogate measure for medial contact force during gait, with an abnormally large peak value being linked to increased pain and rate of disease progression. This study used in vivo gait data collected from a subject with...
متن کاملMechanisms underpinning the peak knee flexion moment increase over 2-years following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis is common in people who have undergone partial meniscectomy, and a higher external knee flexion moment during gait may be a potential contributor. Although the peak external knee flexion moment has been shown to increase from 3 months to 2 years following partial meniscectomy, mechanisms underpinning the increase in the peak knee flexion moment are unknown. METH...
متن کاملKnee joint changes after meniscectomy.
This paper records an investigation of changes found in the knee joint at intervals ranging from three months to fourteen years after meniscectomy. In a search of the literature only one reference to these changes has been found. Vandendorp, Bastien, and Vandecasteele (1939-40) observed in a few subjects that there was narrowing of the joint space and broadening of the femoral and tibial condyl...
