Summary

This study looks at how the quality and movement of thigh muscles relate to pain, daily function, and quality of life in women with knee osteoarthritis. About 58 women aged 40-70 will have a painless ultrasound of their thigh muscles and fill out questionnaires. The goal is to better understand how muscle health impacts symptoms, which could guide future treatments.
