Prediction of knee loading in native knee and total knee arthroplasty : a forward dynamics computational study
… predictions to experimentally measured in vivo knee contact forces, in order to study the biomechanical consequences of two different total knee arthroplasty designs. The two main contributions of this dissertation are: (1) Corroboration to experimental data: The development of an EMG-driven, …

In vivo knee biomechanics and implications for total knee arthroplasty implant design
… determine the limitations of contemporary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and to identify areas for future improvements. In line with this objective, the first goal was to quantify the ability of current TKA systems to restore normal knee kinematics and anatomy. Recently, proposals for gender …

The infected knee arthroplasty
The Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) was used to identify 478 cases that underwent a first-time revision with exchange or removal of the prosthesis due to infection during the years 1986–2000. 30% of the infections were diagnosed within 3 months from primary operation and two-thirds were …

Ultrasound Guided Motor Sparing Knee Blocks for Postoperative Analgesia Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Postoperative total knee arthroplasty (TKA) pain is severe and can inhibit patients’ rehabilitation. We devised a single injection motor sparing knee block (MSB) by targeting the adductor canal and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve with a posterior knee infiltration under ultrasound. Our primary …

Ergonomics of Total Knee Arthroplasty
Introduction Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) imposes significant musculoskeletal demands. Robotic platforms may alter this load, but their ergonomic impact is unclear. We compared biomechanical strain and workload during conventional versus robotic-assisted TKA. Methods Two surgeons and two scrub …

Knee Problems in Young Adults
… have been identified as risk factors for knee pain in elderly populations. There has been an increase in the prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity in younger adults. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether they are risk factors for knee disorders among young adults. This …

The effects of prosthetic alignment on the stability of the knee in above knee amputees
… have a large influence on the gait of an above knee amputee. The present criteria for determining the optimum alignment are mainly subjective, based on visual observation of the amputee's gait and by considering his/her comments. These comments however, are not always helpful. It has been …

Lower Extremity Muscle Activation Following a Previous Knee Injury: Implications for Post-Traumatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Individuals who sustain an intra-articular knee injury are at a high risk of developing post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (PTOA) 10-20 years later. Compensatory activation patterns of knee muscles in response to the trauma may persist past the acute injury phase and result in abnormal mechanical …

Kinematic Analysis of Gait and Deep Knee Flexion for Pre- and Post-Operative Total Knee Arthroplasty
… causing pain, discomfort, and disability. Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure performed when OA symptoms are severe with an estimated 600,000 patients in the United States currently receiving TKA. Studies have reported dissatisfaction of the knee for 14-39% of patients. This …

Knee pain and knee pain related disability in adults of the Western Development Region of Nepal
Background Knee pain and related disability are important public health problems worldwide. In a systematic review, the prevalence of knee pain varied between 2.4% to 49.2% worldwide and disabilities were greater in those with knee pain compared to those without. The prevalence of knee pain may be …

An Exploration into the Relationship between Knee Shape and Kinematics Before and After Total Knee Replacement
The knee joint is unique in its design and it is thought that its articular shape is the main driver of biomechanical behaviour. Although the shape of the bony knee is acknowledged to change with osteoarthritis, the specific relationship between shape changes and function is not well understood. …

Kneeling function following total knee arthroplasty
The ability to kneel is an important function of the knee joint, as it is required for many daily activities, including religious practices, professional occupations and recreational pursuits. The inability to kneel following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is frequently a source of disappointment. …
