Higher dynamic medial knee load predicts greater cartilage loss over 12 months in medial knee osteoarthritis

Objective Mechanical factors, in particular increased medial knee joint load, are believed to be important in the structural progression of knee osteoarthritis. This study evaluated the relationship of medial knee load during walking to indices of structural disease progression, measured on MRI, in...
