Identifying yoga-based knee strengthening exercises using the knee adduction moment
Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare muscle activations, co-contraction indices, and the knee adduction moment between static standing yoga postures to identify appropriate exercises for knee osteoarthritis.
