Study examines functional capacity and pain relationships with torque measures in knee osteoarthrosis, suggesting direct assessments are necessary.

The study aims to investigate the relationships between functional capacity, pain, and torque measures in osteoarthrosis of the knee.
Measured variables in 39 patients with knee osteoarthrosis
Assessed functional capacity and pain alongside isometric and isokinetic torque measurements
Utilized multiple regression analysis to determine predictive relationships between torque and functional capacity
High correlations were found between static and dynamic torque values
Only 23-35% of the variation in functional capacity and pain was explained by torque measures
Dynamic torque measurements did not significantly outperform static torque tests.

Lankhorst et al. (1985) studied this question.
