Instability of the knee joint is thought to be a precursor to osteoarthritis (OA) due to excessive rotation and shear movement within the joint. The relationship between static joint laxity and dynamic movement patterns remains unclear, but such knowledge is essential to understand the contribution of joint laxity towards osteoarthritic degeneration of the knee joint. If available, such understanding could allow a standard assessment metric for early recognition of joint degeneration to be attained. By specifically assessing the components of tibio-femoral motion that affect cartilage degeneration, it could also be possible to inform on preventive and therapeutical measures to target specific stabilisation of the joint for reducing the rate of osteoarthritic degeneration. The goal of this study is therefore to identify the components of passive joint laxity that best correlate with kinematic and kinetic parameters, and later to determine their role in the progression of gonarthrosis after knee injury. Through combining knowledge of the internal loading conditions within the knee joint with the measurement and identification of tibio-femoral shear and rotational movement during standardised activities of daily living using advanced motion analysis techniques, this project aims to elucidate the specific contribution of the mechanical aspects of anterior-posterior translation and rotational laxity of the joint towards the onset of gonarthrosis. This study therefore provides a key basis for 1) science based measures to prevent injury through specifically training joint stability, 2) assessing the requirement for surgical intervention, 3) guiding intra-operative strategies for joint stabilisation and 4) helping postoperative physiotherapy in targeting muscular components for strengthening and stabilisation.

膝关节的不稳定性被认为是骨关节炎（OA）的前体，因为关节内的旋转过多和剪切运动。静态关节松弛与动态运动模式之间的关系尚不清楚，但是这种知识对于了解关节松弛对膝关节骨关节炎变性的贡献至关重要。如果有的话，这种理解可以允许标准评估指标，以尽早识别联合退化。通过特异性评估影响软骨变性的胫骨运动的成分，还可以告知预防和治疗措施，以靶向关节的特定稳定性，以降低骨关节炎变性的速度。因此，这项研究的目的是确定与运动学和动力学参数相关的被动关节松弛的成分，然后确定它们在膝关节损伤后的作用中的作用。通过将膝关节内的内部负载条件结合在一起，使用先进运动分析技术的日常生活中的胫骨剪切和旋转运动的测量和鉴定，该项目旨在阐明对接头对Gonararthersosis的关节的机械方面的特定贡献。因此，这项研究为1）基于科学的措施提供了关键基础，以通过特殊训练关节稳定性来防止伤害，2）评估手术干预的需求，3）指导关节稳定的术中策略； 4）帮助术后物理疗法靶向肌肉成分以增强和稳定。
