Outline
• Introduction
 Knee osteoarthritis
 Literature review
• Materials and methods
 Participants
 Experimental procedure
2
Introduction

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of major problems in the elderly
Knee OA, rather than any other joint, is more likely to cause disability
Davis 1998

In Taiwan, the prevalence of OA ranges from 5.1% to 6.3%
Chou et al 1994

It is defined as a degenerative condition that lead to joint
symptoms and signs which is associated with defective integrity
of articular cartilage, in addition to related changes in the
underlying bone and at the joint margins
3
Classification of osteoarthritis
• The Kellgren-Lawrence scale
 The severity of articular cartilage changes of OA by radiographs
 Patellofemoral joint space narrowing
 Presence of osteophytes
Kellgren-Lawrence Scale
0 No osteophytes
1 Doubtful osteophytes
2 Minimal osteophytes, possible narrowing, cysts, and sclerosis
3 Moderate or definite osteophytes with moderate joint space narrowing
4 Severe with large osteophytes and definite joint space narrowing

Knee Osteoarthritis

71% ~ 91% of total joint load is transmitted through the medial
compartment of knee joint
Maly 2002

The symptoms include:
Joint stiffness
Pain
Deterioration of coordination
5
Balance
• Static balance
• Dynamic balance
DeOreo 1980
• Evaluation / Training of dynamic balance is
effective for improving the postural control ability
Shumway-Cook 2000
Steadiness- trajectory of center of pressure
Symmetry- ratio of weight-bearing
Dynamic stability- functional tests
Niam 1999
6
Postural control
• Difficulty in squatting, kneeling, and rising from a chair
• Avoidance of pain associated with limb loading and decline
in postural control ability
Bennell 2003; Na 2003
7
Postural control
• Individuals with knee OA demonstrate
 Significantly more postural sway than the age-matched group
Wegener 1997; Kul-Panza 2006
 Balance deficits in clinical tests
Hinman 2002
8
Muscle control
• Effective control of balance rely not only accurate sensory
input but also a timely response of strong muscles
• Subjects with knee OA revealed
Quadriceps are weak with delayed activation when walking
Birmingham 2001
The lower extremity muscular strength is reduced
Kaufman 2001
Increased hamstring muscle activation while executing activities of daily life
Hortobagyi 2005
• Knee and hip weakness are related to poor balance and a
greater risk of falling
Robbins 1989
9
Purpose
• To investigate the relationship between muscle strength
and dynamic balance among subjects with knee OA
• To determine the role that severity of knee pain play in
the ability to maintain balance
10
Materials and methods
• Participants
Thirty subjects with bilateral knee osteoarthritis, as
well as a group of thirty controls
• Eligibility criteria
Age over 40 years old
No other disease of lower extremity
• Exclusion criteria
Receiving any surgeries of lower extremity
Having severe medical illnesses that affected the
subject’s ability to perform sustained activities
11
Experimental procedure
• Basic data measurements
• Dynamic balance
• Muscular strength
• Knee pain
12
Basic data measurements
• Descriptive data
Age

13
Dynamic balance
• Dynamic perturbation system (Stewart platform)
 Sinusoidal angular rotation with 10°at 0.3Hz/0.6Hz
Antonio 2000; Yang 2001
• The footscan system (Rsscan International Co., Belgium)
14
Dynamic balance
• Center of pressure (CoP)
Total travelled way
Ellipse area
Maximal AP/ML distance
Ratio of weight bearing
Pitch
Row
15
Muscular strength
• Isokinetic dynamometer

Hip abduction/adduction
Ankle eversion/inversion
• Sagittal plane
Knee flexion/extension
Ankle plantar-flexion/ dorsi-flexion

Knee pain
• Visual analogue scale (VAS)
• Lequesne index
• Western Ontario and McMaster Universities
Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

Center of pressure
• Center of pressure (CoP)
Trajectory of body center of mass over the support
Movements of CoP are indicators of stability
Alexander 1994
23
Displacements of CoP
• Anterior/posterior direction
 Ankle plantar/dorsi flexors
• Medial/lateral direction
 Hip abductors
 Ankle evertors/invertors
