COPD, Quadriceps Muscle Atrophy
Clinimetric Properties of Muscle Mass and Stiffness Measurements of the Quadriceps in Patients With COPD
A large amount of patients with COPD suffer from muscle dysfunction characterized by losses of muscle mass and strength. Studies have shown an association between a loss of quadriceps muscle mass and premature death.

Patellofemoral Maltracking
Relationship Between The Quadriceps Muscle Stiffness And Patellar Alignment For Healthy People
Patellofemoral pain is a common disease, and it often couples with patellar malalignment. Previously, imbalance of the different quadriceps muscle heads was believed to be a causative factor of patellar malignment.
