(IRB#: IRB_00165256)
The purpose of this study is to learn more about muscle function after joint injury of the knee. Including the characteristics of muscle changes and whether it is related to how the muscle functions (strength). The information may improve health care and quality of life for people following knee injuries. People will have medical procedures done to see an image of the leg and strength of the leg and have a biopsy (taking a small sample of tissue out of the muscle). Healthy people will attend in person at the study clinic for about 3 hours. People planning to have surgery for the medical condition will attend 3 study visits for a total of about 4-6 hours over 4 months. People will be paid for participation.
