Maximal Rate of Force Development of Ankle Muscles and Functional Ability in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

This test is designed to measure the maximal rate of force development in the ankle muscles, specifically the plantar flexors. It aims to assess the relationship between the strength of these muscles and the functional ability in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The results from this test will help to understand how lower limb muscle strength influences the symptoms and progression of knee osteoarthritis.
