This study tests whether specific exercises can reduce knee pain and improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you'll do supervised exercises and may feel better moving around.
This study tests whether combining resisted exercise with kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) can help reduce knee pain and improve daily movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if these treatments together work better than just one alone.
This study compares two exercise programs—the Otago program and a neuromuscular exercise program—to see which is better at improving knee pain and physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It lasts six weeks, with two sessions each week.
This study combines a gentle exercise program with a treatment for insomnia to see if it helps older adults with knee osteoarthritis feel less pain and sleep better. You will attend group exercise classes and receive sleep coaching.
This study compares two ways of moving the knee joint to reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. You will either do the joint mobilization yourself at home or have a physical therapist do it for you, and both groups will also do exercises. The goal is to see if self-applied techniques work as well as those done by a therapist.
This study compares two types of exercise — aerobic (like walking or cycling) versus specific therapeutic exercises — to see which one better helps people with knee osteoarthritis who do not get pain relief from exercise. It aims to find an exercise plan that reduces knee pain and improves movement.
