Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Musculoskeletal Disorders Summary: Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and became a major cause of disability and socioeconomic burden. Recent observational studies suggest that quadriceps muscle weakness is associated with an elevated risk for incident symptomatic and progressive knee OA.Objectives: to investigate if there is an association between concentric and eccentric quadriceps torque with lower extremity dysfunction represented by WOMAC including (pain, knee stiffness and physical function) in patients with early stages of knee OA. Methods: Forty female patients participated in this study represented with mean age (50.42±3.902) years, diagnosed as knee OA grades I or II (according to Kellgren and Lawrence criteria). The concentric and eccentric quadriceps Peak Torque / Body Weight (PT/ BW) were assessed using a Biodex Isokinetic Dyna»mometer, (Multi-Joint System 3, at a speed of 90{u00B0}/s)
