Abstract

Objective To test the hypothesis that knee cartilage changes over five years are associated with baseline peak knee adduction moment (KAM) and peak knee flexion moment (KFM) during early stance. Design Baseline KAM and KFM were measured in sixteen subjects with medial knee OA. Regional changes in cartilage thickness and changes in medial-to-lateral thickness ratio were quantified using magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and again after five years. Multiple regression was used to determine whether baseline measures of KAM and KFM were associated with cartilage changes over five years. Associations with baseline pain score, Kellgren-Lawrence grade, walking speed, age, gender, and body mass index were tested one-by-one in the presence of KAM and KFM. Results Changes over five years in femoral medial-to-lateral thickness ratio were associated with baseline KAM, KFM, and pain score (R2=0.60, p=0.010), and most significantly with KAM (R2=0.33, p=0.019). Changes in tibial medial-to-lateral thickness ratio were associated with baseline KAM, KFM, and walking speed (R2=0.49, p=0.039), with KFM driving this association (R2=0.40, p=0.009). Changes in medial tibial thickness were associated with baseline KAM, KFM, and walking speed (R2=0.49, p=0.041); KFM also drove this association (R2=0.42, p=0.006). Conclusions The findings that the KAM has a greater influence on femoral cartilage change and the KFM has a greater influence on tibial cartilage change provide new insight into the tibiofemoral variations in cartilage changes associated with walking kinetics. These results suggest that both KAM and KFM should be considered when designing disease interventions as well as when assessing the risk for OA progression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
