In Vivo Normal Knee Kinematics: Are Ethnicity or Gender Influencing Factors?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Previous in vivo studies have not documented if ethnicity or gender influence knee kinematics for the healthy knee joint. Other measurements, such as hip-knee-ankle alignment have been previously shown to be significantly different between females and males, as well as Japanese and Caucasian populations in the young healthy knee [1]. Differences in knee kinematics in high flexion positions may relate to both etiology of osteoarthritis and success in knee replacement designs. Although differences in knee anatomy have been identified, their significance in knee function has not yet been clarified. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the 3D, in vivo normal knee kinematics for various subjects from different gender and ethnic backgrounds, and to identify significant differences, if any, between populations.

متن کاملIntraoperative passive kinematics of osteoarthritic knees before and after total knee arthroplasty.
Total knee arthroplasty is a successful procedure to treat pain and functional disability due to osteoarthritis. However, precisely how a total knee arthroplasty changes the kinematics of an osteoarthritic knee is unknown. We used a surgical navigation system to measure normal passive kinematics from 7 embalmed cadaver lower extremities and in vivo intraoperative passive kinematics on 17 patien...
متن کاملIn-vivo three-dimensional knee kinematics during daily activities in dogs.
The canine knee is morphologically similar to the human knee and thus dogs have been used in experimental models to study human knee pathology. To date, there is limited data of normal canine 3D knee kinematics during daily activities. The objective of this study was to characterize 3D in-vivo femorotibial kinematics in normal dogs during commonly performed daily activities. Using single-plane ...
