Clinical Trial: Knee Ligament Stiffness Across Ethnicities Before and After Osteoarthritis Treatment

U.S., Aug. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07744789) titled 'Knee Ligament Stiffness Across Ethnicities Before and After Osteoarthritis Treatment' on July 27.

Brief Summary: This prospective clinical study aims to establish normative values of knee ligament stiffness across different ethnic populations using shear wave elastography (SWE) and to investigate biomechanical alterations associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Healthy adults and patients with symptomatic knee OA will undergo standardized SWE examinations of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL), together with clinical assessm...
