Abstract

Introduction: The progressive loss of neuromuscular function leads to varying degrees of disability and decreased independence in performing activities of daily living and muscle strength. The purpose of this study was to determine the behavior of the Muscle Quality Index (MQI) in subjects with hip osteoarthritis (OA group) and to compare strength manifestations and anthropometric variables with healthy older adults (HA group).

Method: Thirty-two participants (4 men and 28 women, 66.2 ± 5.2 years, 159.2 ± 7.5 cm, 71.5 ± 11.7 kg) took part in the study. Fourteen obese subjects with unilateral hip OA comprised the OA group (BMI 31.71 ± 4.33), and eighteen adults formed the HA group (BMI 25.69 ± 0.86), matched by age and gender. Measurements included body composition, the sit-to-stand test, Muscle Quality Index, and maximal voluntary isometric contraction in hip flexion and extension.

Results: The OA group presented obesity (p = 0.037). In the OA group, MQI correlated with body weight (p = 0.776**), peak flexion strength (p = 0.552*), and mean maximal strength (p = 0.574*). In the HA group, MQI correlated with body weight (p = 0.689**), muscle circumference (p = 0.571*), peak extension strength (p = 0.534*), mean peak extension strength (p = 0.523*), mean maximal extension strength (p = 0.509*), and peak extension impulse (p = 0.508*).

Conclusions: Subjects with hip OA present lower Muscle Quality Index and isometric strength levels compared to healthy older adults.
