To reveal the detailed morphological features of the fibular collateral (fibular) ligament, popliteus tendon, popliteofibular ligament and the synovial components regarding to achieve data for surgical and biomechanical utilization. Knees of 10 formalin-fixed male cadavers were dissected bilaterally. Bur...
Resumen: La sinovitis vellonodular pigmentada (SVP) es una neoplasia benigna con proliferación sinovial y depósito de hemosiderina, se caracteriza por comprometer grandes articulaciones, en especial la rodilla. En la actualidad se describen dos variantes clínicas, la forma difusa (SVPD) y la localizad...
Summary Objective: To evaluate the impact of morbid obesity on physical capacity, joint-related symptoms, and on the overall quality of life. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out at a university hospital, enrolling 39 individuals admitted to a bariatric surgery service. Physical capacity was asses...
OBJECTIVES: In post-menopausal women with osteoporosis, insufficient vitamin D levels decrease calcium fixation in the bones and calcium transport in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which impairs muscle strength, possibly leading to detrimental consequences for the preservation of functional capacity and pos...
Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a influência de um treinamento de força (TF), unilateral (UL) ou bilateral (BL), no déficit bilateral (DB). O TF foi composto de 2 (duas) séries de 10 (dez) repetições máximas, na cadeira extensora e flexora de joelho, com duração de 8 (oito) semanas e fr...
A coativação muscular é a ativação simultânea de músculos agonistas e antagonistas. Em pacientes com lesão do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA), o aumento da coativação muscular na extensão ativa do joelho é considerada uma adaptação neuromuscular compensatória à instabilidade anterior, aj...
Inflammation of cartilage is a primary symptom for knee-joint osteoarthritis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to play an important role in the articular cartilage destruction related to osteoarthritis. Naringenin is a plant-derived flavonoid known for its anti-inflammatory properties. We studi...

Abstract Introduction: Limited evidence has been shown on ways to optimize the mechanical design of machines in order to minimize knee loads. Objective: This study compared six computer simulated models of open kinetic knee extension exercises for patellofemoral pressure and tibiofemoral forces. Metho...
Abstract Introduction: The pennation angle (PA) of a muscle is not static value, but it adapts to the conditions imposed by the contraction intensity required. Objective: This study investigates the effect of knee angle (KA) and intensity of contraction (IC) on PA of vastus lateralis (VL). Methods: ...
OBJECTIVES: To clinically and epidemiologically characterize a population diagnosed with and treated for septic arthritis of the knee, to evaluate the treatment results and to analyze the differences between patients with positive and negative culture results, patients with Gram-positive and Gram-negativ...
