Lower Extremity Muscle Activation Following a Previous Knee Injury: Implications for Post-Traumatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Individuals who sustain an intra-articular knee injury are at a high risk of developing post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (PTOA) 10-20 years later. Compensatory activation patterns of knee muscles in response to the trauma may persist past the acute injury phase and result in abnormal mechanical …

Peak isokinetic torque of knee flexors and extensor muscles of college football players
<p>The problem of the study addressed knee injuries in college football. Imbalance of the musculature surrounding the knee would predispose the athlete to knee injury. Recognition of those who have muscular deficiencies would be a primary way of preventing knee injuries. The focus of the study was …
