Associations of knee muscle force, bone malalignment, and knee-joint laxity with osteoarthritis in elderly people
[Purpose] From the viewpoint of prevention of knee osteoarthritis, the aim of this study was to verify how muscle strength and joint laxity are related to knee osteoarthritis. [Subjects and Methods] The study subjects consisted of 90 community-dwelling elderly people aged more than 60 years (22 males, 68 females). Femorotibial angle alignment, knee joint laxity, knee extensors and flexor muscle...
متن کاملStructural factors associated with malalignment in knee osteoarthritis: the Boston osteoarthritis knee study.
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial condition. The progression of knee OA is determined in part by mechanical effects on local structures. One of the mechanical influences on cartilage loss is limb alignment. We explored the structural factors associated with malalignment in subjects with symptomatic OA. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional assessment using The Boston Osteoart...
متن کاملflexibility of knee joint muscles in women with knee osteoarthritis and healthy controls
background: osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases in synovial joints. dueto high loading forces during weight-bearing activities, the knee joint is prone to degenerative processes. this study aimed to compare the flexibility of muscles around the knee joint in patients with knee osteoarthritis with those of healthy individuals. methods: twenty-three women with bilateral knee osteoar...
متن کاملRelationship between foot function and medial knee joint loading in people with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND Dynamic joint loading, particularly the external knee adduction moment (KAM), is an important surrogate measure for the medio-lateral distribution of force across the knee joint in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Foot motion may alter the load on the medial tibiofemoral joint and hence affect the KAM. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between tibia, re...
متن کاملKnee joint laxity affects muscle activation patterns in the healthy knee.
This study investigated the effects of anterior knee joint laxity on muscle activation patterns prior to and following a lower extremity perturbation. Participants were subjected to a forward and either internal (IR) or external (ER) rotation perturbation of the trunk and thigh on the weight-bearing shank. Pre-activity (%MVIC) before the perturbation, and reflex time (ms) and mean reflex amplit...
