Influence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in the fluctuation of the submaximal isometric torque of knee extensors in patients with early-grade osteoarthritis
Abstract:OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
alters the fluctuation of submaximal isometric torque of the knee extensors in
patients with early-grade osteoarthritis (OA). METHOD: The study included 60 male volunteers, aged 40 to 70 years, divided into four
groups: Group 1 (G1) - Control (n=15): without OA and without OSA; Group 2 (G2)
(n=15): with OA and without OSA; Group 3 (G3) (n=15): without OA and with OSA; and
Group 4 (G4) (n=15) with OA and with OSA. Five pat… Show more
“…The volunteers then responded to the WOMAC questionnaire and performed a strength test using an isokinetic dynamometer. 16 Isokinetic testing was performed on volunteers only after all of these procedures were completed and the subjects were assigned to one of the four groups. In total, the volunteers participated in all stages of the study over five visits to the laboratory.…”
