Neuromuscular Characteristics Associated with Knee Instability in Osteoarthritis and After Total Knee Replacement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
: Knee instability in OA populations is associated with reduced lower limb muscle strength, although evidence quality is limited and findings regarding neuromuscular control strategies remain inconclusive. Evidence in TKR populations is scarce. Future studies should investigate muscle activation patterns and dynamic joint stabilization during functional tasks to clarify the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying knee instability.
