Isometric strength measurements of knee extensors in women with osteoarthritis of the knee.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare torque-angle characteristics of the knee extensors of women with and without osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, and to determine the reliability of these measures.
METHODS: The isometric torque of the knee extensors of both legs was tested on 3 occasions in 17 women with OA of the knee and 17 healthy women. Tests were performed on an isokinetic dynamometer at 3 knee angles (30 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees). The peak …
