NCT ID NCT06229691
Summary
This study aimed to understand how muscle fatigue affects the risk of tripping and falling in adults aged 55-70 with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers compared 24 participants with and without knee arthritis by having them walk on a treadmill, complete strength and balance tests, and wear activity monitors. The goal was to learn whether fatigue from walking increases fall risk more in people with knee osteoarthritis.
