Association between quadriceps tendon elasticity and neuromuscular control in individuals with knee osteoarthritis

Stiffer tendon identified within the knee osteoarthritis group was associated with reduced neuromuscular control and knee joint proprioception. Stiffer quadriceps tendon may contribute to the poorer reported symptoms by knee osteoarthritis individuals. These findings may impact disease symptoms and progression which could lead to further joint impairment.
