Análise comparativa da força do quadríceps e dos isquiotibiais na osteoartrite do joelho antes e após a artroplastia total do joelho: um estudo transversal

Patients with healthy knees or early stage osteoarthritis have higher quadriceps and hamstrings strengths than those with a more advanced stage of the disease, even after knee replacement. These findings suggest that the traditional rehabilitation programs do not recover strength to levels observed in individuals without knee osteoarthritis.
