Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess isometric maximum muscle strength in orthopaedic patients and how it relates to factors like gender, age, weight, height, and BMI, as these values have not been previously defined for this group.* -
- A total of 311 patients were evaluated, revealing significant correlations between age, gender, weight, and height with muscle strength, while a decline in strength was noted after age 54, and males exhibited higher strength levels than females.* -
- The findings emphasize the need to consider factors like gender and age in future clinical research on muscle strength and rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of further studies across different populations and muscle groups to enrich current understanding.*
Motion capture analysis (MCA) has the advantage of providing a static and dynamic leg axis analysis without radiation. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence regarding the accuracy of this technique. To test whether mechanical femorotibial axis angle (MAA) measurement recorded with a non-invasive MCA system is equal to the gold standard static long-standing full-leg radiographs (LSX) and if the degree of malalignment or other parameters (BMI, body mass, height, age) influence the accuracy, a total of 102 consecutive patients were examined using LSX and MCA.
