Muscle Strength, Vitamin D Deficiency and Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common and an important cause of disability in the elderly population. Muscle weakness and vitamin D deficiency are responsible factors of KOA. Both factors are also associated with knee pain. However, the results of previous studies are not consistent. Muscle weakness...

Muscle weakness may develop in KOA due to pain and limitation of motion. Conversely, muscle weakness was introduced as an etiologic factor of KOA.
