The in-vivo quantification of knee motion in physiological loading conditions is paramount for the understanding joint’s natural behavior and comprehension articular disorders. Dynamic MRI (DMRI) represents an emerging technology that makes it possible to investigate functional interaction among all joint tissues without risks patient. However, traditional scanners normally offer a reduced spac...

To ensure optimal skeletal development, mechanical loading is imperative. The consequences of the removal of, or complete absence of, mechanical loading are illustrated by the clinical condition of cerebral palsy (CP). Clinical and radiological evaluation of children with CP provides an insight into how the growing skeleton develops when mechanical loading is reduced due to non-physiological mu...
