Associations between patellofemoral joint cartilage T1ρ and T2 and knee flexion moment and impulse during gait in individuals with and without patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis.
This study aimed to investigate the associations between patellofemoral cartilage T1ρ and T2 relaxation times and knee flexion moment (KFM) and KFM impulse during gait. ⋯ Our findings suggest that increased peak KFM and KFM impulse were related to worse cartilage health at the PFJ. This association is more prominent in superficial layer cartilage and cartilage with morphological lesions.
