Correlation between EMG-based co-activation measures and medial and lateral compartment loads of the knee during gait

Correlation between EMG-based co-activation measures and medial and lateral compartment loads of the knee during gait

Background: Inappropriate tibiofemoral joint contact loading during gait is thought to contribute to the development of osteoarthritis. Increased co-activation of agonist/antagonist pair of muscles during gait has commonly been observed in pathological populations and it is thought that this results...
