Feldenkrais exercises for knee osteoarthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if gentle, slow Feldenkrais movement exercises can reduce knee pain and improve mobility in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It is designed for those who are still able to walk and get up from the floor, but are experiencing significant pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old
- You can walk for 6 minutes (even with a walker or cane)
- You can get up from the floor without help
- You have moderate knee osteoarthritis (grade 2 or 3 on X-ray) and knee pain rated 7 or higher for more than 3 months
- You do not have any serious health conditions like tuberculosis, cancer, heart disease, or osteoporosis, and you haven't had knee surgery in the past year

This study tests whether a specific type of muscle exercise (holding a contraction without moving the joint) can reduce knee pain and improve knee function in women with knee osteoarthritis. It may be a gentle, non-drug option to help you move better.
This study tests if core stability exercises can reduce pain and improve function in women with knee osteoarthritis. It is designed for those who have not had recent physical therapy and can move their knees and hips freely.
This study tests whether wrapping a special band around the knee (tissue flossing) plus doing specific exercises can reduce pain and improve movement in people with mild knee osteoarthritis. It may help you move better with less discomfort.
This study tests a specific set of posture and movement exercises (called Egoscue exercises) to see if they help reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you are in the right age range and have moderate knee arthritis, these exercises might be a drug-free way to help your knees feel better.
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 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.
