Diffusional Properties of Articular Cartilage
Articular cartilage is the connective tissue that lines joints and provides a smooth surface for articulation and shock absorption. Osteoarthritis, the progressive degeneration of cartilage, is a painful, debilitating, and widespread disease, affecting 70% of people over 65. Because cartilage is …

Towards understanding multiscale articular cartilage mechanics
… of the chondrocytes, the sole cell type in articular cartilage, is of high importance to developing and maintaining a healthy tissue state. Mechanical cues play a major role in the regulation of many cellular functions. The dominant mechanics experienced by chondrocytes are translated from …

Biotribology: articular cartilage friction, wear, and lubrication
This study developed, explored, and refined techniques for the in vitro study of cartilage-on-cartilage friction, deformation, and wear. Preliminary results of in vitro cartilage-on- cartilage experiments with emphasis on wear and biochemistry are presented. Cartilage-bone specimens were obtained …

Contact mechanics modelling of articular cartilage and applications
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage. The normal cartilage is known to be an excellent bearing material with remarkable lubricating properties and very low frictional co-efficient and wear and generally survives the lifetime of a person. The contact mechanics of the …

Hysteretic response of articular cartilage to cyclic loading
This research investigates the phenomenon of hysteresis in cartilage experimentally. The presence of a hysteresis loop in cartilage indicates energy loss, thereby signaling degradation of cartilage leading to osteoarthritis. Although hysteresis in ligaments and tendons has been studied to a great …

Knee Osteoarthritis: gagCEST MR Imaging of Articular Cartilage
… health problem that involves the disorder of articular cartilage. Until now, there is no effective cure for it. However, beginning treatments and therapies at an early stage can help in preventing further disease progression.It has been reported that the loss of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in …

Impact loading and functional tissue engineering of articular cartilage
… two advances for alleviating the problem of articular cartilage degeneration: mitigating degradative changes that follow mechanically induced injuries and growing functional neo-cartilage for diseased tissue replacement. Experiments demonstrate that cartilage subjected to a single, …

Joint contact modelling of articular cartilage in synovial joints
Hip joint is one of the important load bearing joints and has been extensively studied to investigate contact mechanics and tribology. It has known to experience high contact forces and stresses. However, cartilage shows remarkable lubricating and wear properties, and survives the lifetime of a …

Mechanical Simulation of Articular Cartilage Based on Experimental Results
… model (CGFEM) was developed in order to predict articular cartilage (AC) biomechanical properties before and after growth. Previous research has noted limitations in the CGFEM such as model convergence with growth periods greater than 12 days. The main aims of this work were to address these …

Constraints on movement variability during a discrete multi-articular action
… learning of an accuracy-based, discrete multi-articular action. The second was to identify potential focus-dependent changes on joint kinematics, intra-limb coordination and coordination variability. Support was found for the role of an external focus of attention on shooting performance during …

Outcome measurement in articular cartilage repair: exploring the patient perspective
… perspective of outcome measurement after articular cartilage repair (ACR) of the knee. The work represents the evolution and development of the author's coherent research programme in this field over a period of 8 years. In 2003 the author conducted a comparative analysis of rehabilitative …
