This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is investigating whether measuring muscle strength, power, and how your body controls movement can help predict which older adults with knee arthritis are at risk of falling. Researchers will use special equipment to test your muscles and sensors you wear at home to monitor your daily movement over 24 months. The goal is to catch problems early so doctors can prevent falls before they happen.
Falls are a serious and common problem for older adults, leading to injury, reduced quality of life, and high healthcare costs. This research aims to identify warning signs in muscle strength and movement control that could help doctors predict and prevent falls in people with knee arthritis.

You will visit the research clinic five times over 24 months (at the start, then every 6 months). At each visit, you'll complete muscle strength and power tests using special equipment, and wear a small movement sensor at home for 5 days to track your daily activity. At your first and last visits, you'll also have an MRI scan of your lower leg and a walking assessment. The entire commitment is about 2 years.
