Cartilage and chondrocyte response to extreme muscular loading and impact loading: Can in vivo pre-load decrease impact-induced cell death? Clinical Biomechanics, 30(6), 537-545. doi:10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2015.04.0091879-1271http://hdl.handle.net/1880/10777010.11575/PRISM/43920Impact loading causes cartilage damage and cell death. Pre-loading prior to impact loading may protect cartilage and chondrocytes. However, there is no systematic evidence and understanding of the effects of pre-load strategies on cartilage damage and chondrocyte death. This study aimed at determining the effects of the pre-load history on impact-induced chondrocyte death in an intact joint.enUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
