In vivo assessments of patellofemoral kinematics and contact areas with applications to osteoarthritis

Mechanical-based treatment strategies for patellofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) have had limited success. This is likely because the magnitude of mechanical change required to improve clinical symptoms has not been quantified because, until recently, the tools required to do so were not available. Th...
