Abstract:
Recently, the general finding of increased ankle cartilage stiffness to loading has been challenged, suggesting the need for the investigation of different in vivo loading conditions. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to determine ankle (talar) cartilage deformation after in vivo loading using 3D volume change calculation and to establish any difference in volume change between four weight-bearing exercises. The four exercises represented increasing impact (bilateral knee bends
