Joint Capsule Collagen. Analysis by the Study of Intra-articular Pressure during Joint Distension. Measurements in the Knees of Control Subjects and Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
source: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases

summary/abstract:The joint capsule contains both elastic fibres and collagen tissue (Gardner, 1965). In the normal joint the collagen is relaxed and the stiffness of the tissues is provided by the elastic tissues. When the capsule is stretched the collagen fibres become reorientated, start to bear some of the strain, and produce a considerable increase in the capsular stiffness. By a computerized analysis of the pressures measured during progressive joint distension it has been possible to obtain indices of the joint capsule collagen content and structure.
