The repeatability of spectral and amplitude parameters and conduction velocity estimates of M-waves was tested on the vastus medialis muscle of 9 normal subjects. Isometric contractions sustained for 30 s were elicited by stimulation of the main muscle motor point and repeated on 5 different days. T
## Abstract ## Objective To characterize the distribution of error in knee joint proprioception, quadriceps force accuracy and steadiness, and muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Special attention was paid to eccentric strength. ## Methods We compared knee OA patients (n =
