چکیده

background : biomechanical factors are known to be important in knee osteoarthritis (oa) development and progression. this study was designed to determine changes of hamstrings muscle activation, knee adduction moment and ankle rotation angle in two knee osteoarthritis (mild and moderate) and a healthy control group.   methods: 16 females (10 with mild and 6 with moderate medial knee osteoarthritis) and 10 control matched females were recruited. a 3d gait analysis was performed on the subjects while they walked along the walkway. electromyography data was also collected during gait from lateral and medial hamstrings. post hoc tukey hsd (multi comparison) was performed to compare knee adduction moment, ankle rotation angle and medial and lateral hamstrings activity at early and late stance, between three groups.   results: ankle rotation angle, knee adduction moment and lateral hamstrings activation showed no significant difference between three groups. interestingly, medial hamstrings activity was significantly higher at late stance in moderate group compared with asymptomatic and mild groups ( p =0.03, 0.02 respectively). also knee adduction moment at late stance was significantly and directly correlated with ankle rotation angle, and lateral hamstrings activity at early stance was significantly and inversely correlated with this angle.   conclusions: it can be concluded that, increased lateral hamstrings activity can increase external ankle rotation and consequently decrease knee adduction moment.

Biomechanical changes at the hip, knee, and ankle joints during gait are associated with knee osteoarthritis severity.

Mechanical factors have been implicated in the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Understanding how these factors change as the condition progresses would elucidate their role and help in developing interventions that could delay the progress of knee OA. In this cross-sectional study, we identified kinematic and kinetic variables at the hip, knee, and ankle joints that change between thre...

Synovial Neuronal Changes in Knee Joint Osteoarthritis

Purpose: The purpose is to study whether pain and inflammation in knee joint osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with local synovial neuronal changes. Methods: Synovial biopsies were harvested from the medial and lateral knee compartments from OA patients undergoing total joint replacement surgery. All patients had predominant pain at the medial joint compartment. Pain and knee joint function we...

Sensorimotor changes and functional performance in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVE Muscles are essential components of our sensorimotor system that help maintain balance and perform a smooth gait, but it is unclear whether arthritic damage adversely affects muscle sensorimotor function. Quadriceps sensorimotor function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) was investigated, and whether these changes were associated with impairment of functional performance. ME...
