Alterations in walking knee joint stiffness in individuals with knee osteoarthritis and self-reported knee instability

Highlights • Self-reported knee instability was associated with lower knee joint stiffness. • Increased knee flexion excursion was associated with lower knee joint stiffness. • Lower heel-contact knee flexion was also associated with lower knee joint stiffness. • Quadriceps muscle strength was not a...

Summary:Highlights • Self-reported knee instability was associated with lower knee joint stiffness. • Increased knee flexion excursion was associated with lower knee joint stiffness. • Lower heel-contact knee flexion was also associated with lower knee joint stiffness. • Quadriceps muscle strength was not associated with walking knee joint stiffness. • Medial compartment laxity was also not associated with walking knee joint stiffness.
