  1. EMG activity of the gastrocnemius lateralis (GL), soleus (SO), tibialis anterior (TA), vastus medialis oblique (VMO), vastus medialis longus (VML), vastus lateralis (VL), and biceps femoris (BF) muscles of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and healthy subjects during stair ascent and descent. *Superscript numbers in each muscle indicate the phase in which EMG signals were obtained; ŦStatistical significance.
