Background To investigate (1) the association of specific biomechanical factors with knee
osteoarthritis and knee osteoarthritis development, and (2) the impact of other relevant risk …

Introduction Hand-held dynamometry (HHD) has never previously been used to examine
isometric muscle power. Rate of force development (RFD) is often used for muscle power …

Muscle quality is an important component of the functional profile of the elderly, and
previous studies have shown that both muscle quantity and quality independently contribute …

Background Neuromuscular alterations are common in people with knee osteoarthritis
(KOA). A comprehensive understanding of these alterations is important to enable targeted …

Purpose Neural drive and contractile properties are well-defined physiological determinants
of explosive strength, the influence of muscle architecture and related morphology on …

Objective To compare sagittal walking gait biomechanics between participants with knee
osteoarthritis (KOA) who increased quadriceps strength following a lower-extremity …

This study aimed to analyze the benefits of a lower-limb fast-velocity concentric resistance
training on rate of force development, mobility, and quality of life in people with Multiple …

Background Deficits in knee flexor strength and rate of torque development (RTD) might be
present in women with patellofemoral pain (PFP). In addition, maximal strength and RTD of …

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a leading cause of knee pain and disability due to irreversible
cartilage degeneration. Previous studies have not identified modifiable risk factors for KOA …

Background Knee osteoarthritis is a complex condition with established risk factors such as
female sex, increasing age and body mass index, reduced quadriceps muscle strength and …
