What do we know about Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) and the Hip Joint?
- KOA patients demonstrate: (compared with age-matched controls).
- weakness in the hip joint muscles: quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteus medius.
- hyperactive hip adductors and altered hip arthrokinematics.
- Most KOA studies focus on strengthening the quadriceps muscles rather than the hip abductors.
