Fig. 2From: Effects of low-intensity exercise on spontaneously developed knee osteoarthritis in male senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8Radiological analysis and morphometrical and walking assessments with age. A Time course of radiological analysis of knee joints. In 9-month-old mice, advanced osteophyte formation or joint destruction was recognized at the posterior part of the joint compared with that in the 3-month-old and control mice. B Changes in knee joint flexion angle. C Changes in knee joint extension angle. D Changes in width of knee joint. E Changes in stride length. F changes in the quadriceps muscle fiber cross sectional area (CSA). Data are expressed as the means ± 95% CI. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. (n = 3–7 per age group)Back to article page
