No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims at investigating the effects of a periarticular knee pressure stimulation on quadriceps strength and neuromuscular activity in subjects with knee ostearthritis.

Twenty-five patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis and and twenty-five age-matched healthy subjects will be enrolled. All participants will be asked to performed isometric maximal voluntary knee extension tasks with three different pressure stimuli in terms of intensity (0 mmHg, 60 mmHg, 120 mmHg) around the knee using a sphygmomanometer. Peak force and root-mean-square peak of rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis will be collected.
