The restoration of the biomechanical properties of articular cartilage was studied after 15 weeks of remobilization of the knee joint in beagles previously immobilized with a cast for 11 weeks. The shear moduli were determined with an indentation creep test immediately after load application and at
## Abstract The distribution of proteoglycans (PGs) at 11 sites on the knee (stifle joint) cartilage of young female beagle dogs was studied following cast immobilization for 11 weeks in 90Β° flexion and after a subsequent remobilization for 15 weeks. Immobilization induced a reduction in PG uronic
This study was intended to delineate whether electrical stimulation could significantly reduce the amount of joint contracture in a rat model. Rat knees were surgically immobilized in 150" of flexion. Two groups of rats had sham electrodes, and two groups were electrically stimulated. All rats were
