Reduced Muscle Strength Can Alter the Impact of Gait Modifications on Knee Cartilage Mechanics

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Muscle strength can substantially influence knee joint loading, stability, and cartilage biomechanics, all of which are important factors in the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Noninvasive rehabilitation methods, such as gait modifications, are suggested to effectively alter knee joint loading, potentially helping to ...

Murine Supraspinatus Tendons Demonstrate Aging‐Related Changes in Multiscale Mechanics, Structure, and Gene Expression

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rotator cuff disorders are common in the aging population, often leading to pain, disability, and reduced quality of life. Age‐associated changes can occur disproportionately in regions of high mechanical stress, such as the insertion site of the supraspinatus tendon, leading to increased injury rates and tendinopathies.

Estrogen and Progesterone Exhibit Distinct Yet Coordinated Roles in the Regulation of Tendon Extracellular Matrix Remodeling

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for the proper healing, strengthening, and maintenance of tendon tissue. There are well‐documented sex differences in tendon injury rates and healing outcomes, often attributed to either innate differences in tissue structure and resident cell signaling or the influence of sex hormones ...

Quantitative Assessment of Knee Pain and Proprioception in Tibial Rotation in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) exhibit reduced tibial rotations, possibly as a compensatory adaptation to mitigate mechanical stimuli on surrounding tissues. Hence, the passive threshold angle at which knee pain is sensed may reflect that surrounding tissues have received mechanical stimuli sufficient to exceed the nociceptive ...
