| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Joint pain is the most common symptom of OA, however, molecular mechanisms of pain in OA joint have been generally unrevealed. Here, we performed the motion analysis of surgically-induced OA model mice to examine how cartilage degeneration of the knee joint alters gait and joint motions. Locomotion recording and Motion analyses were performed at six months after osteoarthritis surgery. Among all parameters, the degree of knee flexion in the stepping-in phase was significantly changed in the OA group.
