The effects of using a lateral wedge insole on knee loading during ascending and descending stairs
… accompanied by about six times more load on theknee joint. Consequently, pain while stair climbing is the first complaint in patients withknee osteoarthritis (OA). The use of lateral wedge insoles aims to decrease medial kneecompartment loading by reducing the peak external knee adduction moment …

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, …

The biomechanical effect of different types of footwear on medial compartment knee loading during stair ascent and descent
Introduction: Biomechanical treatments for knee OA, especially the specially designed footwear and LWIs, are commonly investigated and used during level walking. The specially designed footwear and LWIs have been suggested to potentially prevent, delay or even halt knee OA progression by reducing …

The biomechanical changes during sport-specific tasks and different commercially available footwear in individuals following meniscectomy
… in depth following meniscectomy. Altered knee mechanics and increased knee loading, like those seen in knee osteoarthritis (OA), have been observed following a meniscectomy, therefore identifying ways to reduce knee loading and slow the progression of OA are a priority. Individuals …

The effectiveness of a lateral wedge insole on knee pain, physical activity and joint loading in individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic musculoskeletal diseases causing knee pain, disability and reduced levels of activity. Medial compartment of the knee joint is commonly affected, nearly 10 times more frequently, than lateral compartment by the disease. Knee loading (i.e. External …

Biomechanical adaptations of lower-limb amputee-gait: Effects of the echelon hydraulically damped foot. Segmental kinetic and kinematic responses to hydraulically damped prosthetic ankle-foot components in unilateral, trans-tibial amputees.
… foot and facilitated increased residual-knee loading-response flexion and prosthetic-limb load bearing during stance. These changes occurred despite the hydraulic device absorbing more, and returning less, energy than the participants’ habitual ankle-foot devices. The changes were present …

Urinary Volatile Organic Compounds for Detection of Breast Cancer and Monitoring Chemical and Mechanical Cancer Treatments in Mice
… Mechanical stimulation included tibia and knee loading at the site of tumor cell injection were given to mice. A biological treatment mode included administration of A5 osteocyte cell line. A set of potential volatile organic compounds biomarkers differentiating mammary pad or bone confined …

Effectiveness of single and combined treatments on biomechanical and clinical outcomes during walking in healthy individuals and individuals with knee osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is considered a common chronic musculoskeletal disease affecting the medial compartment more than the lateral compartment and leading to disability and a reduction in activity level. Lateral wedge insoles (LWI) are a conservative treatment that aims to reduce the knee …

Untersuchung zur biomechanischen Wirkungsweise von Gonarthrose-Orthesen
Wir untersuchten die biomechanische Wirksamkeit einer valgisierenden Knieorthese an 16 Patienten mit medialer Gonarthrose (Mittelwert +/- Standardabweichung Alter 56 +/- 10 Jahre, Größe 172 +/- 9 cm, Gewicht 83 +/- 12 kg). Zum Zeitpunkt der Untersuchung betrug die Tragezeit der Orthese für alle …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BACK FUNCTIONAL LINE ON LOWER EXTREMITY FRONTAL PLANE KINEMATICS AND KINEMATIC PREDICTORS OF LOADING DURING RUNNING
… alignment, increased whole body and joint loading, and insufficient modulation of stiffness throughout stance phase. Upper body muscle activity and movement have a relationship to lower body dynamics; however, the literature has largely neglected their role during running. To date, …
