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.

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 ( |
