Osteoarthritis is the most common type of , which usually affects multiple joints. According to findings reported today in , a peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), new research suggests that African Americans have a higher prevalence of multiple, large-joint ...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most prevalent diseases globally, which affects multiple joints, including the hip, knee, ankle, hand, and temporal-mandibular joint (TMJ) and other joints.1,4,5The knee, hand, and hip joints are most susceptible to developing OA.6During the past century, t...
We compared the prediction efficiency of the multiple-joint space width (JSW) and the minimum-JSW on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) severity and progression by using a deep learning approach. A convolutional neural network (CNN) with ResU-Net architecture was developed for knee X-ray imaging segmentati...
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 ...
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 ...
The rapid increase in the prevalence of OA will lead to a growing impact and major challenges for health care and public health systems. OA can occur in different joints in the musculoskeletal system, such as the knee, hips, back, hand, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), having a ...
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 ...
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 clearly put the athlete at an even higher risk for joint degeneration....
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 ...
In this study, we have extracted as many feature from gait data including both traditional and engineering methods from multiple joints. Also, we anticipate that WOMAC estimation model based on gait feature would explain the biomechanical difference between the severity of KOA and provide further ...
