People with hip osteoarthritis have reduced quadriceps voluntary activation and altered motor cortex function
People with hip OA demonstrate reduced quadriceps voluntary activation and complex changes in motor cortex excitability compared to controls. These findings suggest that hip OA can alter quadriceps neuromuscular function (facilitation associated with pain, inhibition associated with activation), thus having implications for rehabilitation.
