Role of Lower Limb Muscle Strength in Knee Osteoarthritis Progression for Patients With Mild and Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis

Conclusions This study shows the relationship between lower limb muscle strength and volumes of cartilage and meniscus for patients with mild and moderate knee osteoarthritis. In addition, our study indicates a biomechanical mechanism of quadricep strength and meniscus-related knee dynamic stability in progression of mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis.
