Journal Article
Dickson, D. M., Smith, S. L., & Hendry, G. J. (2024). Association between quadriceps tendon elasticity and neuromuscular control in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Clinical Biomechanics, 111, Article 106159. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2023.106159

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a complex condition with established risk factors such as female sex, increasing age and body mass index, reduced quadriceps muscle strength and knee injury. Despite known associated risks, the role and behaviour of... Read More about Association between quadriceps tendon elasticity and neuromuscular control in individuals with knee osteoarthritis..

Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Yue, B., Smith, S. L., Stocks, J., Doherty, M., Valdes, A. M., …Walsh, D. A. (2023). Associations of Muscle Strength with Central Aspects of Pain: Data from the Knee Pain and Related Health in the Community (KPIC) Cohort. Journal of Personalized Medicine, 13(10), Article 1450. https://doi.org/10.3390/jpm13101450

Knee pain is associated with lower muscle strength, and both contribute to disability. Peripheral and central neurological mechanisms contribute to OA pain. Understanding the relative contributions of pain mechanisms to muscle strength might help fut...
