Our primary hypothesis was that weight loss and quadriceps force would have the strongest, positive associations with each of the knee joint load outcomes (tibiofemoral (TF) compressive force, patellofemoral (PF) compressive force, anteroposterior (AP) shear force, and internal knee abduction moment (iKAM)). We also hypothesized that gait speed, knee flexion angle, and internal knee extensor moment would display positive associations with each of the knee force outcome variables. en Wake Forest University compressive force diet intensive weight loss knee joint loading muscle forces older adults Biomechanical Determinants of Altered Knee Joint Loads After 18 Months of Intensive Weight Loss Thesis Messier, Stephen P DeVita, Paul Beavers, Daniel Health and Exercise Science forever 10000-01-01 open.access
