Abstract

Purpose: Reduction in knee flexion excursion has been reported during the early stance phase of gait in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Quadriceps femoris muscle is the major muscle group that functions eccentrically in controlling the knee flexion motion during the early loading phase. Since force generated by muscle is influenced by both motor unit activation and muscle stiffness, we were interested to explore possible associations between knee flexion motion and passive property of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
