Popis:	Muscle capacity utilization reflects the percentage of maximal knee extensor strength required to complete physical activities.Is pain associated with muscle capacity utilization during walking in older adults with knee osteoarthritis? Secondarily, is muscle capacity utilization in older adults with knee osteoarthritis sex-specific?Twenty-three participants (15 females) with symptomatic knee OA completed this study [age 67 ( ± 8) years, body mass index 29.7 ( ± 3.9) kg/mPain was not associated with muscle capacity utilization during self-selected and standardized walking speeds (p = 0.38 and p = 0.36, respectively). Females did not require a greater muscle capacity utilization than males to complete gait at self-selected and standardized speeds (p = 0.28, and p = 0.40, respectively).Muscle capacity utilization was not associated with pain during walking in people with knee osteoarthritis. Future work should explore more challenging activities of daily living in knee OA.
