 We developed a method that allows women patients with osteoarthritis of the knee (knee OA) to measure the isometric muscle strength of their quadriceps femoris by compressing a cylindrical paper in the popliteal fossa on a bathroom scale. The quadriceps femoris muscle strength of women with knee OA (n=53) was significantly lower than that of healthy control women (n=53). The muscle strength values measured with the bathroom scale were significantly correlated with the values measured with a precision medical instrument. The muscle strength of patients who were instructed to perform quadriceps exercises at home (n=26) was significantly greater than that of patients who were not instructed to perform the exercise at home (n=27). The method of measuring quadriceps femoris muscle strength with bathroom scale should be a useful means of maintaining the motivation of knee OA patients who are participating in a home quadriceps exercise program.
