Movement retraining for knee osteoarthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a movement retraining program to see if changing how you walk can reduce stress on your knee and ease osteoarthritis pain. It’s a good fit for people with mild knee pain who want a non-surgical option.
