Workflow for integrating imaging, gait and cartilage quality data into a multiscale subject-specific model of human knee cartilage. For further discussion on each component, see host-mesh fitting,19 EMG-informed muscle forces in gait,35 knee cartilage stress–strain,7,8 and poroelastic models of cartilage.49,59,65 We argue that tissue-level metrics of cartilage consolidation and fluid exudation will have a stronger association with cartilage loss and defect enlargement than risk factors used in previous studies.
