| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the sit-to-stand motion of healthy people and knee osteoarthritis patients and to implement this task as a new treatment strategy for knee osteoarthritis patients. The results of this study suggested that the sit-to-stand motion for knee osteoarthritis could not produce the kinetic energy by forward trunk-tilt not to exert hip extension muscles efficiently, which knee extension muscles overloaded. These functions can be performed by physical therapy, which may be effective in preventing the pathogenesis and progress of knee osteoarthritis.
