Joint Loading in Runners Does Not Initiate Knee Osteoarthritis.

چکیده

Runners do not have a greater prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) than nonrunners. The hypothesis that joint loads in running do not cause OA is forwarded. Two mechanisms are proposed: 1) cumulative load, which is surprisingly low in running, is more important for OA risk than peak load, and 2) running conditions cartilage to withstand the mechanical stresses of running.

Gait retraining for runners: in search of the ideal.

For physical therapists, modifying technique is not a novel concept; however, our motives are typically focused on symptom and injury reduction rather than purely performance. These specific modifications are based on minimizing tissue load, while still enabling successful completion of the task. Applying this same rationale to running, an activity in which up to 80% of participants are injured...

بررسی حس عمقی در مفصل زانوی بیماران مبتلا به استئوآرتریت اولیه زانو

Knee is a common site of osteoarthritis possibly because it is often subject to trauma. Primary knee osteoarthritis has no known etiology while secondary osteoarthritis can be traced to abnormal joint mechanics. Actually, osteoarthritis may be a physiologic response to repetitive, longitudinal impulse loading of the joint. Knee proprioception derives from the integration of afferent s...

Lifelong voluntary joint loading increases osteoarthritis in mice housing a deletion mutation in type II procollagen gene, and slightly also in non-transgenic mice.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of voluntary running on the incidence and severity of osteoarthritis (OA) and associated changes in cartilage matrix and subchondral bone in a transgenic Del1 mouse model for OA. METHODS Del1 mice and their non-transgenic littermate controls were housed from the age of 5-6 weeks to 15 months in individual cages with running wheels. The running activity of...

A comparison of negative joint work and vertical ground reaction force loading rates in Chi runners and rearfoot-striking runners.

STUDY DESIGN Observational. OBJECTIVES To compare lower extremity negative joint work and vertical ground reaction force loading rates in rearfoot-striking (RS) and Chi runners. BACKGROUND Alternative running styles such as Chi running have become a popular alternative to RS running. Proponents assert that this running style reduces knee joint loading and ground reaction force loading rates...

Sex differences in knee loading in recreational runners.

Patellofemoral pain is the most common chronic pathology in recreational runners. Female runners are at greater risk of developing patellofemoral pain, although the exact mechanism behind this is not fully understood. This study aimed to determine whether female recreational runners exhibit distinct knee loading compared to males. Fifteen males and 15 females recreational runners underwent 3D r...
