The Effect of High Heel Shoes on Tibiofemoral and Patellofemoral joint Contact Forces and Muscle Forces
Introduction: High heel shoes affect the knee joint and can cause arthritis in the tibiofemoral (TFJ) and patellofemoral joints (PFJ). There is a dearth of research investigating the contact forces of TFJ and PFJ. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of high heel shoes on muscle forces as well as TFJ, and PFJ contact forces during walking. Materials & Methods: A tot...
متن کاملComparison of Kinematics and Tibiofemoral Contact Pressures for Native and Transplanted Lateral Menisci
BACKGROUND Lateral meniscus transplantation is a proven treatment option for the meniscus-deficient knee, yet little is known about meniscal kinematics, strain, and tibiofemoral contact pressure changes after transplantation or the effect of altered root position in lateral meniscus transplantation. PURPOSE To compare the native lateral meniscal kinematics, strain, and tibiofemoral contact pr...
متن کاملHow tibiofemoral alignment and contact locations affect predictions of medial and lateral tibiofemoral contact forces.
Understanding degeneration of biological and prosthetic knee joints requires knowledge of the in-vivo loading environment during activities of daily living. Musculoskeletal models can estimate medial/lateral tibiofemoral compartment contact forces, yet anthropometric differences between individuals make accurate predictions challenging. We developed a full-body OpenSim musculoskeletal model wit...
متن کاملTibiofemoral joint contact force in deep knee flexion and its consideration in knee osteoarthritis and joint replacement.
The aim of the study was to estimate the tibiofemoral joint force in deep flexion to consider how the mechanical load affects the knee. We hypothesize that the joint force should not become sufficiently large to damage the joint under normal contact area, but should become deleterious to the joint under the limited contact area. Sixteen healthy knees were analyzed using a motion capture system,...
متن کاملEffect of osteochondral defects on articular cartilage. Contact pressures studied in dog knees.
Full thickness osteochondral defects 6 mm in diameter were created in the weight-bearing regions of the femoral condyles in 5 adult mongrel dogs to study the contact pressure changes accompanying healing. A digital imaging technique employing Fuji Prescale film mapped contact pressures following 11 months of healing for comparison with contralateral normal knees, and knees with freshly made def...
