Abstract:Knee osteoarthritis is associated with deficits in muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical functioning. These muscle‐related deficits are acutely exacerbated following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and persist long after surgery, despite the application of standardized rehabilitation programs that include physical/functional training. Resistance exercise training (RET) has been shown to be a highly effective strategy to improve muscle‐related outcomes in healthy as well as clinical populations. However, the… Show more
