Resumo

A fraqueza do músculo quadrí­ceps é um fator ofensivo na osteoartrite (AO), contribuindo para o desenvolvimento e agravamento do dano articular. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar diferenças no recrutamento dos músculos que compõem o quadrí­ceps (vasto medial obliquo - VMO, reto femoral - RF e vasto lateral - VL) durante a atividade concêntrica (subida) e excêntrica (descida), em mulheres portadoras de OA nos joelhos, comparado com um grupo saudável. Foram estudadas 60 mulheres, idade acima de 40 anos, divididas em dois grupos: um grupo com OA (GOA), com 32 voluntárias e o grupo de comparação (GC), composto de 28 pessoas. Não foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significantes no recrutamento muscular nos dois grupos, com exceção da subida e descida do segundo degrau. Apesar de não encontrar diferenças no recrutamento dos dois grupos, estudos futuros utilizando uma metodologia que permita comparar recrutamento e força muscular, são necessários para comprovar esta relação.

Palavras-chave: eletromiografia, quadrí­ceps, osteoartrite, joelho.
