Although there are no pain receptors in the cartilage, the origin of the pain is thought to be due to stimulation of the A delta mechanoreceptors and the C polymodal nerve endings in the synovium and surrounding tissues. However, some of the pain experienced in and around the joints is ...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease that causes painful swelling and permanent damage to the joints in the body. The molecular mechanisms of OA are currently unknown. OA is a heterogeneous disease that affects the entire joint, and multiple tissues are altered during ...
However, a restitution ad integrum is reached only in very rare cases. Professional football players that return to play after serious injuries perform their extremely strenuous activity on morphologically compromised joints. Incomplete rehabilitation and pressure to return to play after an injurious event...
Extreme cases of OA known asCharcot's jointsgenerally seen in association with a neurologic deficit. In these patients, a characteristic rapidly destructive OA is observed, complicated by the production of multiple loose bodies, severesubluxation, and even dislocation of the joint (Figs. 11-3 to ...
Direct Joint Space State Estimation in Robots With Multiple Elastic Joints For robots with joint elasticity, discrepancies exist between the motor side and the load side (e.g., the link of the robotic joint). Thus, the load side (... W Chen,M Tomizuka - 《IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechat...
Unlike the other joints in the body knee joint lacks a stable bony configuration like deep socket, mortise etc. Knee joint relies on ligaments, menisci, cartilage and bones in the joint to maintain its load bearing capacity. Hence, it is more prone for injuries. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the ...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial and complex disease that involves change in articular bone and cartilage structure. The multifactorial nature of OA is that the disease is not a single entity, but encompasses many entities, including the the loss of cartilage within synovial joints, hypertroph...
In vitro human articular cartilage explant culture Osteochondral tissues from radiographically and anatomically normal joints will be obtained from patients with different surgeries, such as oncologic surgical procedures, meniscal tear repair or total knee joint replacement. The collected osteochondral tissues...
