Strength training plus joint mobilization for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding resistance (strength) exercises to joint mobilization helps people with knee osteoarthritis move better, feel less pain, and get stronger. You'll do standard joint mobilization plus a program of exercises like leg presses and squats.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding a gentle stretching technique to resistance exercises helps reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you have mild-to-moderate knee arthritis and want to strengthen your knees without surgery.
This study compares two hands-on therapy techniques (Mulligan and Kaltenborn mobilizations) to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have mild to moderate knee pain and are between 40 and 70, this trial may help you find a gentler treatment option.
This study tests if a program of guided exercises can reduce pain and improve movement for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and are between 50 and 75, this may help you feel better and move more easily.
This study compares doing joint mobilization exercises on your own versus having a clinician do them, in addition to regular knee strengthening exercises. The goal is to see if self-treatment is as effective for managing knee osteoarthritis pain and stiffness.
This study tests two hands-on treatments for knee osteoarthritis: foot massage (reflexology) and gentle joint movement (Mulligan mobilization). It may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
This trial tests whether combining resisted exercise (strengthening movements) with kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) can help reduce pain and improve daily activities like walking and climbing stairs for people with knee osteoarthritis.
