Biomechanical Osteoarthritis Outcomes in Meniscectomy Patients

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The key aim of this study is to examine biomechanical measures associated with osteoarthritis (OA) progression in patients who have lateral and medial menisci injuries during various tasks. The likelihood is that individuals who have a meniscal injury often develop knee osteoarthritis. Therefore understanding biomechanical changes from the injury, specifically undertaking both functional and sporting activities, may provide a conservative approach to delaying or minimising the development of OA. Three-dimensional kinetic and kinematic measures will be assessed during seven tasks (walking, running, side cuts, single leg landing, small knee bend squat and isokinetic leg strength), prior to and following treatment. In addition, Strength and balance will be assessed to indicate if there is more work in the rehabilitation program that is needed for functional movement.

Conditions

  • Meniscus Injury
  • Meniscectomy
  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Meniscectomy

This will be to see what occurs in both kinetics and kinematics after you have a surgery and how this links on to osteoarthritis

OTHER

Helathy control comparison

This group will be used to get a baseline for normal and natural walking, running and other several tasks which will be used as a comparison for the meniscus injury group.
