Objective
The Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) recommends assessment of physical function using a performance‐based test of stair negotiation but was unable to recommend any specific test. We assessed the reliability, validity, responsiveness, measurement error, and minimum important change (MIC) of the 6‐step timed Stair Climb Test (SCT).
Methods
We used pooled data from 397...
Greater impact loading at initial contact is postulated to play a role in the progression of osteoarthritis. Quadriceps weakness is common in individuals with knee osteoarthritis and may contribute to high impact loading. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of quadriceps strengthening on impact loading parameters.Data from 97 individuals with knee osteoarthritis who participated in...
Joint loading has been implicated in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (OA). While compartment-specific measures such as the knee adduction moment have received much attention in the literature, less is known about other measures of dynamic loading in this patient population. This cross-sectional study assessed strength and walking patterns of 204 individuals with radiographically confirmed...
