Modifying loading during gait leads to biochemical changes in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein concentrations in a subgroup of individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Armitano-Lago, C., Evans-Pickett, A., Davis-Wilson, H., Munsch, A., Longobardi, L., Willcockson, H., … Pietrosimone, B. (2024, February 15). CLINICAL RHEUMATOLOGY.

By: C. Armitano-Lago *, A. Evans-Pickett *, H. Davis-Wilson *, A. Munsch n, L. Longobardi *, H. Willcockson *, T. Schwartz *, J. Franz n, B. Pietrosimone *

author keywords: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; Biofeedback; Biomarkers; Blood; Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein; Walking
TL;DR: Manipulating lower limb loading in ACLR patients who habitually exhibit an acute increase in sCOMP following walking results in improved biochemical changes linked to cartilage health, and may provide an intervention strategy to mitigate the development of PTOA following ACLR.

2024 article

Sustained Limb-Level Loading: A Ground Reaction Force Phenotype Common to Individuals at High Risk for and Those With Knee Osteoarthritis

Bjornsen, E., Berkoff, D., Blackburn, J. T., Davis-Wilson, H., Evans-Pickett, A., Franz, J. R., … Pietrosimone, B. (2024, January 17). ARTHRITIS & RHEUMATOLOGY.

By: E. Bjornsen *, D. Berkoff*, J. Blackburn *, H. Davis-Wilson *, A. Evans-Pickett *, J. Franz n, M. Harkey *, W. Horton* ...

TL;DR: Individuals 6-12 months post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction exhibit strikingly similarGRF profiles as individuals with KL2 KOA, suggesting both patient groups may benefit from targeted interventions to address aberrant GRF profiles. (via Semantic Scholar)

2023 article

Delayed cartilage oligomeric matrix protein response to loading is associated with femoral cartilage composition post-ACLR

Lisee, C., Evans-Pickett, A., Davis-Wilson, H., Munsch, A. E., Longobardi, L., Schwartz, T. A., … Pietrosimone, B. (2023, June 16). EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY.

By: C. Lisee *, A. Evans-Pickett *, H. Davis-Wilson *, A. Munsch*, L. Longobardi *, T. Schwartz *, D. Lalush n, J. Franz n, B. Pietrosimone *

author keywords: Biomarkers; Serum; Cartilage; COMP; MRI
TL;DR: Greater delayed sCOMP response to loading, a biomarker of cartilage breakdown, is associated with worse lateral femoral cartilage composition in the ACLR limb compared to the uninjured limb. (via Semantic Scholar)

2023 journal article

Knee kinetics and the medial femoral cartilage cross-sectional area response to loading in indviduals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

CLINICAL BIOMECHANICS, 105.

By: E. Bjornsen *, H. Davis-Wilson *, A. Evans-Picket*, W. Horton*, C. Lisee *, A. Munsch n, D. Nissman *, J. Blackburn *, J. Franz n, B. Pietrosimone *

author keywords: ACL reconstruction; Ultrasound; Cartilage cross-sectional area; Knee abduction moment; Knee extension moment
MeSH headings : Humans; Osteoarthritis, Knee; Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries / surgery; Knee Joint; Gait / physiology; Lower Extremity; Cartilage, Articular; Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction / methods; Biomechanical Phenomena
TL;DR: The propensity of femoral cartilage to acutely increase cross-sectional area in response to walking is consistent with less-dynamic knee abduction and knee extension moment profiles. (via Semantic Scholar)
