Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to identify things that influence the ability to "turn on" the thigh muscle (quadriceps). The thigh muscle tends to be under active with knee osteoarthritis, which may make it difficult to strengthen the muscle. The investigators are also testing a new technology called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to determine whether it may help "turn up" activity in the under active thigh muscle immediately after its application. rTMS uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine to send an electrical signal from the brain to the thigh muscle.
Interventions
- DEVICE rTMS and exercise
- DEVICE Sham rTMS and exercise
