About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Muscle activity, as a possible fundamental cause of functional limitation, has been extensively investigated in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Many trials investigated muscle activity during dynamic movements and functional tasks in KOA. In addition, gender-related differences has been also investigated during functional movements in KOA. However, no trial investigated gender-related differences in muscle activation during static movement in KOA.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Men group
Muscle activity amongst men with KOA
Treatment: Electromyography (EMG) measurement
- Women group
Muscle activity amongst women with KOA
Treatment: Electromyography (EMG) measurement
