Why muscle strengthening exercises should target the quadriceps and gluteus maximus in patients with knee osteoarthritis?: Effects of knee pain on muscle volume and fatty degeneration based on AI-assisted cross-sectional analysis

Why muscle strengthening exercises should target the quadriceps and gluteus maximus in patients with knee osteoarthritis?: Effects of knee pain on muscle volume and fatty degeneration based on AI-assisted cross-sectional analysis

Background: Sarcopenia, characterized by age-related muscle loss, traditionally presents as systemic muscle atrophy. However, knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients often exhibit localized quadriceps muscle atrophy, suggesting a potential pain-related mechanism distinct from classical sarcopenia. This st...
