Muscular forces affect the glycosaminoglycan content of joint cartilage: Unloading in human volunteers with the HEPHAISTOS lower leg orthosis

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Unloading alters the thickness of joint cartilage. It is unknown, however, to what extent unloading leads to a loss of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the cartilage tissue. We hypothesized that muscle forces, in addition to axial loading, are necessary to maintain the joint cart...
