Summary

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic painful musculoskeletal condition among older adults. It poses great challenge to the health care system due to its inability to be cured. Understanding factors associated with disease progression in KOA should assist the development of novel prevention/rehabilitation strategies. This study investigate factors including muscle properties, lower limb alignment and joint loading in patients with knee osteoarthritis before and after a six-week exercise program.
