Abstract

Purpose: Evidence suggests that periarticular muscles have a role in the pathogenesis of pain, but results have not been consistent. We recently reported that pain population is heterogenous and consists of different subgroups of which the causes and mechanisms differ. Study has not been performed yet to investigate whether muscle function, power and mass are risk factors for worse pain trajectories. The aim of this study was to examine the association of leg strength, knee extensor strength, low-limb muscle quality (power), total and local muscle mass with trajectories of knee pain severity over 10.7 years.
