Abstract
Purpose: Adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA) frequently have significant hip abductor and quadriceps weakness. Given the importance of the hip abductors in controlling pelvic orientation and rotation of the femur during gait, both of which affect knee biomechanics, hip abductor weakness may influence the development or worsening of knee pain. One trial of hip strengthening exercises suggests a reduction in knee pain with increased strength; however, hip exercises may also affect knee strength making it unclear if improvements were due to hip or knee strength.
