Knee osteoarthritis causes chronic pain, limits mobility and reduces quality of life for thousands of Canadians. This burden is compounded by healthcare costs - over $4.4 billion is spent every year in Canada to manage knee osteoarthritis. The loads placed on the knee during daily activities are critical in triggering and facilitating knee arthritis. However, we know very little about how fatigue induced by daily activities contributes to this loading environment. This research program evaluates the influence of fatigue on the loads placed on the knee.

膝骨性关节炎会导致慢性疼痛，限制活动能力，并降低数千加拿大人的生活质量。医疗成本加剧了这一负担-加拿大每年花费超过44亿美元来管理膝骨性关节炎。日常活动中施加在膝盖上的负荷在引发和促进膝关节炎方面是至关重要的。然而，我们对日常活动引起的疲劳如何影响这种负荷环境知之甚少。这项研究计划评估疲劳对施加在膝盖上的负荷的影响。
