Objective: Joint movements sustain cartilage fluid load support (FLS) through a combination of contact migration and periodic bath exposure. Although there have been suggestions that small involuntary movements may disrupt load-induced exudation during prolonged inactivity, theoretical studies have shown otherwise. This work used well-controlled explant measurements to experimentally test an existing hypothesis that the range-of-motion must exceed the contact length to sustain non-zero FLS.Method: Smooth glass spheres (1.2-3.2 mm radius) were slid at 1.5 mm/s (Peclet number >100) against bovine osteochondral explants under varying normal loads (0.05-0.1 N) and migration lengths (0.05 -7 mm) using a custom instrument. In situ deformation measurements were used to quantify FLS.Results: Non-zero FLS was maintained at migration lengths as small as 0.05 mm or
