Improving muscle capacity utilization with a 12-week strengthening program for females with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Strengthening exercise improves symptoms in knee osteoarthritis (OA), but it remains unclear if biomechanical mechanisms contribute to this improvement. Muscle capacity utilization, which reflects the proportion of maximum capacity required to complete tasks, may provide insight into how strengthening exercise improves clinical outcomes in painful knee OA.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this secondary analysis was to determine if a 12-week …
