In patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), pain and dysfunction cause a reflex inhibition on the quadriceps femoral muscle, and quadriceps weakness could accelerate damage to knee cartilage.

The proximal region of the biceps femoris (BF) seems to be the most common site of injury. Elongation of the fascicles in eccentric contractions is higher in the proximal region compared to the distal ...
