Excessive muscle co-contraction is one of the factors related to the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). A previous study demonstrated that pain, joint instability, lateral thrust, weight, and lower extremity alignment were listed as factors affecting excessive co-contraction in knee OA. However, this study aimed to assess the association betw...

... during stair ascent was significantly correlated with FTA (medial muscles, r = 0.48, p < 0.05; lateral muscles, r = 0.57, p < 0.01), whereas co-contraction during stair descent was significantly correlated with BMI (lateral muscles, r = 0.52, p < 0.05) and FTA (medial muscles, r = 0.48, p < 0.05; lateral muscles, r = 0.55, p < 0.05) ( Table 4). Partial correlation analysis adjusted for BMI and FTA, showed a significant correlation only between medial muscles, CCR, and TSK-11 during stair descent (r = 0.54, p < 0.05) ( Table 5). ...Similar publications
Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by joint pain and stiffness. The development of kinesiophobia is common in OA patients, especially related to pain and loss of function. The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and pain, quality of life and physical functions in patient...
