Mobilization and balance exercises for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special hands-on technique (Mulligan mobilization) combined with balance exercises can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move easier. It's for people with mild to moderate knee OA who can walk without help.

This pilot study tests whether a group exercise program can improve balance for people with knee osteoarthritis. You would join supervised exercise classes to see if they help with stability and daily movement.
This study tests whether specific mobilization exercises can reduce inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if these movements help lower markers of inflammation and improve pain.
This study tests a gentle knee movement therapy (Maitland's mobilization) applied at different points in the knee's range of motion. It may help reduce pain and stiffness for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis.
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.
