In Those with Unilateral Frequent Knee Pain, Between-Limb Differences in Stance Time During Walking Increase the Risk of Frequent Pain in the Other Knee: The MOST Study
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) commonly begins as a unilateral disease, with pain in only one knee. Yet 88% of persons with unilateral knee OA develop…Abstract Number: 724 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Biomechanical Properties of Skin for Assessment of Scleroderma: A Systemic Review
Background/Purpose: Skin involvement is one of the early features of scleroderma and an important predictor of internal organ involvement and mortality. Skin fibrosis alters the…Abstract Number: 2600 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
‘If You Don’t Use It, You Lose It’: Rehabilitation of Finger Dexterity and Ability to Perform Activities of Daily Living in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Hand involvement due to increased skin thickness and skin collagen content is one of the first manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc) leading to a…Abstract Number: 957 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Biomechanical Therapy for Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background/Purpose: Biomechanics plays an important role in knee osteoarthritis (OA). A new biomechanical footwear system aims at altering knee loading patterns and retraining neuromuscular control…Abstract Number: 1369 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Influence of Hand Osteoarthritis on Bone Microstructure and Biomechanical Properties of Radial Bone
Background/Purpose: Primary hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is a heterogeneous disease, with erosive and osteoproliferative changes of the finger joints. [1] Due to the lack of treatment…Abstract Number: 2002 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Dynamic Compression of Articular Cartilage Explants Increases Formation and Decreases Degradation of Type II Collagen
Background/Purpose: Mechanical loading is recognized as a major factor in initiation and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Conversely loading is believed to play an essential role…Abstract Number: 2765 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Centre of Pressure Characteristics during Walking in Individuals with and without First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1st MTPJ OA) is a common and disabling condition characterised by symptoms of joint pain and stiffness, formation of…Abstract Number: 652 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Investigating the Role of Mechanical Stress in Spondyloarthritis Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose: Mechanotransduction is a cell’s ability to translate mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals and has been implicated in signaling pathways involving differentiation and proliferation. Mechanical…Abstract Number: 2185 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relation of Foot Pronation to Medial Knee Load in Persons with Medial Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: The knee adduction moment (KAM) estimates medial knee load during gait, with high KAM fueling worsening OA. Understanding how foot mechanics contribute to KAM…Abstract Number: 291 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relation of Foot Pronation during Walking to Risk of Worsening Lateral Patellofemoral and Medial Tibiofemoral Cartilage Damage
Background/Purpose: Foot pronation can lead to lateral patellofemoral (PF) maltracking with reduced tibiofemoral (TF) varum, inciting speculation that the highly pronated foot reported in knees…Abstract Number: 359 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association of Scheuermann’s Disease with Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture Risk
Background/Purpose: Scheuermann’s disease is one of the most frequent illnesses of the spine in teenagers. Its evolution over time is poorly understood. Spinal deformities, by…Abstract Number: 1307 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anatomical Patterns Suggest the Involvement of Biomechanical Stress in the Pathogenesis of Erosions in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: There is limited data outlining the anatomic characteristics of bone erosions of the small joints in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In particular, there is minimal…Abstract Number: 2390 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Foot Kinematics and Foot Center of Pressure and Their Association with Medial Knee Load Reduction with Use of Flexible Shoes in Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Biomechanical treatments for medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) often target the knee adduction moment (KAM). Foot-mediated biomechanical interventions for knee OA may operate through altering…Abstract Number: 2389 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relation of Pronated Foot Posture to Risk of Worsening Knee Pain during Gait and Compartment-Specific Knee Cartilage Damage
Background/Purpose: Pronated foot posture is prevalent in older adults with knee cartilage damage and younger adults with knee pain. Yet, there is disagreement about the…Abstract Number: 1005 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Baseline Knee Sagittal Dynamic Joint Stiffness during Gait and 2-Year Cartilage Damage Progression in Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Background/Purpose: While patellofemoral (PF) OA has been found to have substantial impact on pain and function, most studies continue to focus on tibiofemoral (TF)…
