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 recovery of articular cartilage from atrophy induced by joint immobilization was investigated in immature dogs. In a previous study, we showed that 11 weeks of immobilization of the knee (stifle) joint of young dogs reduced the concentration of articular cartilage glycosaminoglycans
## 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
## Abstract The objective was to determine the changes of articular cartilage of the knee joint during immobilization in a rat model. The knee joints of adult male rats were immobilized at 150Β° of flexion using an internal fixator for 3 days, and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks. The articular cartilage fr
