Knee extension rate of torque development and peak torque: associations with lower extremity function

Abstract Background With aging, the ability to generate muscle force decreases, contributing to declines in physical functions such as walking. While most studies assess muscle force by peak torque, the rate of torque development (RTD) reflects a dynamic component of muscle performance that is impor...
