Popis: Objective: To determine the relationships among knee and patella alignments, BMI, quadriceps, and knee adduction moments, which are associated with knee osteoarthritis, in healthy people. Methods: In 60 young females, intercondylar distances normalized by body height, Q-angle, and BMI were assessed. The ratios of individual muscle:quadriceps thicknesses measured using ultrasonography were calculated. Correlations between these parameters were evaluated. Ten subjects were selected from the VALGUS, mild VARUS, or severe VARUS knee groups (
