Clinical Trial: Characteristics of Hoffa Adipose Tissue and Intramuscular Adipose Tissue in the Quadriceps Muscle
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Osteo Arthritis Knee
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Study to Compare the Characteristics of Hoffa Adipose Tissue and Intramuscular Adipose Tissue in the Quadriceps Muscle
Brief Summary:
Over the last few years, it has been suggested that Knee Ostheoarthritis (KOA) incidence and progression could potentially be related to skeletal muscle characteristics.In particular, weakness of the quadriceps muscle would be a key determinant of KOA.However the mechanisms underpinning the influence of skeletal muscle in the pathophysiology of ostheoarthritis (OA) are poorly understood.Crosstalk between skeletal muscle and structures around and in the joint is of interest.In physical deconditioning and aging, it…
