Task-specific determinants of one-year performance after unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the associations between performance-based outcomes (walking, sit-to-stand, and stair climbing) and impairment-level measures one year after primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using an analytic ...

Online identification and nonlinear control of the electrically stimulated quadriceps muscle [PDF]
A new approach for estimating nonlinear models of the electrically stimulated quadriceps muscle group under nonisometric conditions is investigated. The model can be used for designing controlled neuro-prostheses. In order to identify the muscle dynamics

Quadriceps weakness in osteoarthritis
Involvement of the quadriceps muscle group in knee osteoarthritis is receiving increasing research interest. The motor and sensory functions of muscle are intimately linked, and deficits in the sensorimotor functions of the quadriceps have been identified and proposed as possible factors in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis or as consequences of ...
