The severity of symptoms in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee can be difficult to assess. A new method for assessing medial compartment OA of the knee is proposed. The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between the severity... Read More about A new biomechanical model for the functional assessment of knee osteoarthritis.

Understanding the biomechanical risk factors of patellofemoral pain (PFP) in military individuals
Thesis
patellofemoral pain (PFP) in military individuals. (Thesis). University of Salford

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the major sources of chronic knee pain in young athletes, affecting one in four individuals. To progress further in this field, prospective studies are therefore needed in order to gain a better understanding of...
