Quadriceps and hamstrings morphology is related to walking mechanics and knee cartilage MRI relaxation times in young adults.
STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study using a cross-sectional design. OBJECTIVES To analyze the relationship of quadriceps-hamstrings and medial-lateral quadriceps anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA) ratios with knee loads during walking and articular and meniscal cartilage composition in young, healthy subjects. BACKGROUND Muscle forces affect knee loading during walking, but it is n...
متن کاملWhat I have learned about the ACL: utilizing a progressive rehabilitation scheme to achieve total knee symmetry after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Anterior cruciate ligament surgery and rehabilitation have changed drastically during the past 30 years. The patellar tendon autograft fixed with buttons provides tight bone-to-bone placement of the graft and quick bony healing, which allows accelerated rehabilitation to obtain full range of motion and strength. Although surgical stability is easily reproducible, long-term patient satisfaction ...
متن کاملCorrelation of the condition of the patellar articular cartilage and patellofemoral symptoms and function in osteoarthritic patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
We sought to determine the degree of correlation between the condition of the patellar articular cartilage and patellofemoral symptoms and function in osteoarthritic patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The depth of the osteoarthritic lesion, as graded by the Outerbridge classification and its size and location were assessed to determine the condition of the patellar cartilage in 80 con...
متن کاملCartilage defects are associated with physical disability in obese adults.
OBJECTIVE To describe the associations between physical disability measures and knee cartilage defects in obese adults. METHODS One hundred and eleven obese subjects were recruited from laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding or exercise/diet weight loss programmes. All subjects completed disease-specific (WOMAC) and general health status (SF-36) questionnaires, and were assessed for range of...
متن کاملManagement of Knee Articular Cartilage Injuries
Articular cartilage is a unique, biologically active tissue. In the knee, it serves as the endbearing surface for the distal femur and proximal tibia, forming a diarthrodial synovial joint capable of enduring years of impact loading. Made of hyaline cartilage, the near-frictionless surface distributes load throughout motion across 6 degrees of freedom, reducing stress transmission to the underl...
