TL;DR
The co-activation indices and principal patterns identified that lateral site differences occurred among all three groups with medial site differences between the two osteoarthritic groups.
Abstract
The co-activation indices and principal patterns identified that lateral site differences occurred among all three groups with medial site differences between the two osteoarthritic groups. These findings suggest that measures of muscle co-activity provide additional information related to knee osteoarthritis severity.

The secondary gait changes observed among patients with knee OA reflect a potential strategy to shift the body's weight more rapidly from the contralateral limb to the support limb, which appears to be successful in reducing the load at the knee in only patients with less severe knee O a.

Although elevated BMI increases the risk of knee OA progression, the effect of BMI is limited to knees in which moderate malal alignment exists, presumably because of the combined focus of load from malalignment and the excess load from increased weight.

Different biomechanical mechanisms were important in discriminating between severity levels of knee OA, and changes in knee and hip kinetic patterns and rectus femoris activation were key in separating the asymptomatic and moderate OA gait patterns.
