Associations between frontal plane joint stiffness and proprioceptive acuity in knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE It has been proposed that proprioceptive impairments observed in knee osteoarthritis (OA) may be associated with disease-related changes in joint mechanics. The aim of this study was to quantify joint proprioception and stiffness in the frontal plane of the knee in persons with and without knee OA and to report the associations between these 2 metrics. METHODS Participants were 13 p...
متن کاملThe differential effects of gender, anthropometry, and prior hormonal state on frontal plane knee joint stiffness.
BACKGROUND Gender differences in passive frontal plane knee stiffness may contribute to the increased anterior cruciate ligament injury rate in females. Gender-based stiffness differences have been attributed to anthropometric variations, but little data exist describing this relationship. Furthermore, sex hormone levels appear to influence joint stiffness, but the differential effects of insta...
متن کاملImmediate Effects of an Elastic Knee Sleeve on Frontal Plane Gait Biomechanics in Knee Osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis of the knee affects millions of people. Elastic knee sleeves aim at relieving symptoms. While symptomatic improvements have been demonstrated as a consequence of elastic knee sleeves, evidence for biomechanical alterations only exists for the sagittal plane. We therefore asked what effect an elastic knee sleeve would have on frontal plane gait biomechanics. METHODS...
متن کاملAssociation of frontal plane knee alignment with foot posture in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND To examine the association of radiographic frontal plane knee alignment with three-dimensional foot posture in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Participants in orthopedic clinics with Kellgren/Lawrence (K/L) grade ≥1 (88 patients and 88 knees; age, 61-91 years; 65.9% female) were enrolled. An anteroposterior radiographic view was used to assess the anatomical ...
متن کاملAssociations between obesity and the radiographic phenotype in knee osteoarthritis.
BACKGROUND/AIM Investigation of the association between obesity and the distinction of radiographic patterns in knee osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven hundred and thirty-four women underwent weight-bearing antero-posterior knee radiography. Osteophytes and joint space narrowing (JSN) were graded according to the OARSI atlas. Each subject was assigned to one of the following groups w...
