The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of gender on
strength gains after five week training programme that consisted of isometric
exercise coupled with electromyographic biofeedback to the quadriceps muscle.
METHODS: Forty-three (20 men and 23 women) patients with knee
osteoarthritis (OA), were placed into two groups based on their gender. Both
groups performed isometric exercise coupled with electromyographic biofeedback
for five days a week for five weeks. RESULTS: Both groups reported gains in
muscle strength after five week training. However, the difference was found to be
statistically insignificant between the two groups (P=0.224). CONCLUSION: The
results suggest that gender did not affect gains in muscle strength by isometric
exercise coupled with electromyographic biofeedback in patients with knee OA.
