WHAT’S NEW?
- The presence of sarcopenia in patients with knee OA is evaluated
multidimensional way, including body composition parameters,
ultrasonographic muscle structure evaluations, isometric muscle strength
evaluations, handgrip strength and walking speed evaluations,
biochemical evaluations, anthropometric measurements and comprehensive
functional evaluation tests measured by DEXA were examined.
- The relation between OA and sarcopenia was aimed to be investigated as
well as the most practical, easily accessible and inexpensive method for
investigating sarcopenia was aimed to be identified.
