Interpretation of causal relationship between quadriceps tendon Young’s modulus and gait speed by structural equation modeling in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis
Purpose: To clarify the causal relationship between quadriceps tendon stiffness and gait speed in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis (OA) using structural equation modeling. Methods: Participants were 36 patients with knee OA (median age, 75.0 [interquartile range, 67.3–76.0] years; Kellgren-L...
