Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent condition worldwide, significantly diminishing quality of life and productivity. Except for the alignment change, muscle activation patterns (MAP) have garnered increasing attention as another crucial factor contributing to KOA.
Objective: This study explores the factors, characteristics, and effects of MAP changes caused by KOA, providing a neuromuscular-based causal analysis for the rehabilitation treatment of KOA.

This study aims to explore the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the risk of carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) among Chinese steelworkers. This is a cross-sectional study involving a total of 4,203 Chinese steelworkers. The TyG index was calculated using the formula: TyG = Ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL) / 2].
