Alterations in joint mobility may predispose the joint to developing osteoarthritis because: A) Instability may lead to surface stresses that are different from the usual plane of motion which leads to surface fibrillation of cartilage B) Hypomobility may produce chronically elevated joint pressures that lead to cartilage degeneration C) Hypomobility may limit the joint surface area used to distribute forces during loading D.All of the above are true E.Only B and C are true

Question 13: Alterations in joint mobility may predispose the joint to developing osteoarthritis because: a) Instability may lead to surface stresses that are different from the usual plane of motion, which leads to surface fibrillation of cartilage. b) Hypomobility may produce chronically elevated joint pressures that lead to cartilage degeneration. c) Hypomobility may limit the joint surface area used to distribute forces during loading. d) All of the above are true. e) Only B and C are true. Question 14: A high rate of joint loading may be detrimental to articular cartilage because: a) Muscles may not be able to respond quickly enough to help absorb unanticipated forces. b) The viscoelastic properties of cartilage result in higher stress with a high rate of load because the fluid cannot distribute load as well. c) Both a and b are true. d) Neither a nor b are true.
