Determinants of co-contraction during walking before and after arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis.
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis patients co-contract in knee-related muscle pairs during walking. The determinants of this co-contraction remain insufficiently clear. METHODS A heterogeneous group of 14 patients was measured before and one year after knee arthroplasty, and compared to 12 healthy peers and 15 young subjects, measured once. Participants walked on a treadmill at several imposed s...
متن کاملQuadriceps strength and volitional activation before and after total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis.
INTRODUCTION Patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee have quadriceps weakness and arthrogenous muscle inhibition (AMI). While total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reliably reduces pain and improves function in patients with knee OA, quadriceps weakness persists after surgery. The purpose of this investigation was to assess contributions of AMI to quadriceps weakness before and after TKA and to a...

متن کاملMuscle Activity And The Quantification Of Co-Contraction At The Knee During Walking Gait
INTRODUCTION It is commonly agreed that one of the greatest challenges in the study of human motion is the development of accurate, non-invasive methods to calculate individual force-time histories during movement [1]. Furthermore, in the field of medicine it is widely advocated that in surgical decisions for the management of such orthopedic conditions as cerebral palsy, muscle balance must be...
متن کاملEffect of Exercise Therapy with Medicine Ball on Directed and General Co-contraction of Knee Joint Muscles in Low Back Pain Patients During Walking
Background and Objectives: Low back pain is a musculoskeletal disorder with an annual prevalence of 18.6%. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of rehabilitation with medicine ball on directed and general co-contraction of knee joint muscles in low back patients during walking, Materials and Methods: The present study was a clinical trial. The statistical population of the p...
