NCT ID NCT07139158
First seen Feb 14, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looked at how the quadriceps (thigh) muscle uses oxygen during activities like squatting and stair climbing in 41 adults with and without patellofemoral pain (kneecap pain). Researchers used a light-based device to measure muscle oxygen levels at rest, during exercise, and after activity. The goal was to see if muscle oxygen problems contribute to ongoing pain and muscle weakness.
