Quadriceps muscle strength, radiographic knee osteoarthritis and knee pain: the ROAD study
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to clarify the association of quadriceps muscle strength with knee pain using a large-scale, population-based cohort of the Research on Osteoarthritis/osteoporosis Against Disability (ROAD) study. METHODS From the 2566 subjects at the third visit of the ROAD study, the present study analyzed 2152 subjects who completed radiographic examinations and measurements of muscle strength and mass (690 men and 1462 women; mean age, 71.6 ± 12.2 years). Knee pain was assessed by an experienced orthopedist. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) was defined according to Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade. Quadriceps muscle strength and muscle mass at the lower limbs were measured by the Quadriceps Training Machine (QTM-05F, Alcare Co., Ltd. Tokyo, Japan) and the Body Composition Analyzer MC-190 (Tanita Corp., Tokyo, Japan), respectively. RESULTS Quadriceps muscle strength and weight bearing index (WBI: quadriceps muscle strength by weight) were significantly associated with knee pain after adjustment for age and body mass index, whereas grip strength and muscle mass at the lower limbs were not. The significant association of quadriceps muscle strength with knee pain was independent of radiographic knee OA. CONCLUSION The present cross-sectional study showed an independent association of quadriceps muscle strength with knee pain.

Background and Objective: Muscle weaknesse particularly in association with quadriceps muscle is known as a risk factor in the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The objective of this study was to compare quadriceps muscle strength (QMS) between asymptomatic controls and KOA patients and to elucidate its relationship with knee pain and radiographic changes. Materials a...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relative impact of radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) and current knee pain on lower limb physical function, quadriceps strength, knee joint proprioception, and postural sway. METHODS Using a 2x2 factorial design, 142 community derived subjects aged over 45 were divided into four subgroups based on the presence or absence of ROA (Kellgren & Lawrence>grade 2) and kn...
