Patient-oriented and performance-based outcomes after knee autologous chondrocyte implantation: a timeline for the first year of recovery [PDF]
It is well established that autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) can require extended recovery postoperatively; however, little information exists to provide clinicians and patients with a timeline for anticipated function during the first year ...

Low impact weight-bearing exercise in an upright posture achieves greater lumbopelvic stability than overground walking [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the kinematic differences between movements on a new exercise device (EX) that promotes a stable trunk over a moving, unstable base of support, and overground walking (OW).
