The phrase "articular stiffness" is not correct in English; it seems to be a misspelling of "articular stiffness." You can use "articular stiffness" in contexts related to joint health or medical discussions about joint mobility and conditions affecting the joints.
Example: "Patients with arthritis often experience increased articular stiffness, making movement difficult."
Alternatives: "joint stiffness" or "articular rigidity."
The main clinical symptoms related by patients with knee OA include pain, articular stiffness, crepitation, articular edema, joint deformities, articular instability, decrease in range of motion (ROM), physical activity limitations and muscle weakness [ 6, 7].
The objective of this work was to evaluate the reproducibility, reliability and usefulness of the musculo-articular stiffness (MAS) of the ankle joint, measuring it by the free vibration technique.
Moreover, clinical trials with ω3 PUFA supplementation have reported an improvement in the number of tender joints on physical examination, the Ritchie articular index, morning stiffness and decreased NSAID requirements [ 3, 19– 25].
Objective Reduction of compressive stiffness of articular cartilage has been reported as one of the first signs of cartilage degeneration.
Our study suggests a sensitive method for measuring the contact stiffness of articular cartilage and demonstrates the importance of mechanical analysis for proper evaluation of the success of cartilage repair strategies.
The loss stiffness of articular cartilage (on bone) was frequency independent.
The dynamic modulus indicates the compressive stiffness of articular cartilage under physiologically relevant loading rates.
The highly sulfated structure leads to a large amount of hydration, which provides the compressive stiffness of articular cartilage [ 18].
(2009) to distinguish differences in nano-compressive stiffness of articular cartilage from femoral heads as a function of aging [48].
Jurvelin et al. immobilized the canine knee with a splint and detected the influence of immobilization on the thickness and stiffness of articular cartilage.
The aim of this study was to determine the range of frequency-dependent, viscoelastic stiffness of articular cartilage across the bovine knee joint.
