Exercise for people with loose joints and knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can help people with loose joints (hypermobility) who have knee pain. If you have had knee pain for at least 3 months and your knees are very flexible, this could be a way to strengthen your knees and reduce pain.
