Walking recovers cartilage compressive strain in vivo
This study represents the first in vivo demonstration that joint activity is capable of recovering compressive strain in cartilage. These findings indicate that joint activities such as walking may play a key role in maintaining and recovering cartilage strain, with implications for maintaining cartilage health and preventing or delaying cartilage degeneration.
