Hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) are leading causes of global disability. Most research to
date has focused on the knee, with results often extrapolated to the hip, and this extends to …

Objective. We aimed to evaluate the associations between knee muscle strength (MS) and
falls, controlling for knee joint proprioception, varus-valgus knee joint laxity, and knee pain, …

Objectives To assess whether (i) high-intensity resistance training (RT) leads to increased
muscle strength compared to low-intensity RT in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA); and (ii) …

OBJECTIVE: Muscle weakness is common and strongly related to clinical outcome in patients
with knee or hip osteoarthritis. To date, there is no clear overview of the information on …

Objectives To investigate cartilage tissue turnover in response to a supervised 12-week
exercise-related joint loading training program followed by a 6-month period of unsupervised …

Objective. Vitamin D deficiency, which is common among elderly people, has been linked to
muscle weakness. In patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), the association between muscle …

Background Muscle weakness is characteristic of knee osteoarthritis. Muscle steadiness
may be an important adjunct to knee muscle strength in improving physical function in knee …

Background We recently developed a model of stratified exercise therapy, consisting of (i) a
stratification algorithm allocating patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) into one of the three …

Objectives Most studies of knee osteoarthritis use isokinetic peak strength as a measure of
muscle strength. However, estimated one-repetition maximum (1-RM) may have a stronger …

Our aim in this thesis was twofold. The first aim was to describe the potential determinants of
muscle strength in patients with knee OA. The second aim was to optimize strength gains in …
