Correlation Between Instrumented Timed Up and Go Test Performance and Muscle Strength in Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis: An Exploratory, Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Muscle weakness is a key contributor to functional limitation in individuals with hip (HOA) or knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Identifying accessible and objective tools to estimate muscle strength could improve clinical assessment and rehabilitation monitoring. This exploratory cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between parameters derived from the instrumented Timed Up and Go test (iTUG), and isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strength in individuals with KOA or HOA. Thirty-six participants with KOA and 21 with HOA were assessed. Quadriceps and hamstring peak torques were measured at 60°/s using an isokinetic dynamometer. The iTUG was performed with a sacrum-mounted inertial measurement unit. Correlations between iTUG parameters and lower-limb muscle strength were weak-to-mod
