Whether this relationship is mediated by biomechanical factors has not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between leg BMD, fat mass, and lean mass on knee joint compressive forces in older adults with knee OA, and to determine whether these relationships are mediated by stride length, leg strength, and/or knee stiffness. en Wake Forest University compressive forces gait knee older osteoarthritis The Influence of Stride Length, Knee Stiffness, and Leg Strength on the Associations Between Bone Mineral Density, Lean and Fat Mass, and Knee Joint Compressive Forces Among Older Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis Thesis Messier, Stephen P Beavers, Kristen M Beavers, Daniel P DeVita, Paul Health and Exercise Science 2018-06-14 open.access
