Balance training vs vibration therapy for knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise therapy—balance training and whole-body vibration—to see which helps knee pain and function better. It is for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis who have not found relief from other treatments.
