Sensory motor or strength training for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise for people with knee osteoarthritis: sensory motor training (which improves balance and joint awareness) and resistance training (which builds muscle strength). The goal is to find out which one helps reduce pain and improve function.

This study compares how men and women respond to a special type of physiotherapy that uses gradual weight-bearing exercises to reduce knee pain and improve function. It may help you if you have moderate knee osteoarthritis and are looking for a non-surgical treatment option.
This study tests whether a program of strength exercises and self-management techniques can help reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you qualify, you'll get support to manage your symptoms better at home.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (a balance-focused training and a progressive strengthening program) added to usual physical therapy. The goal is to see which works better for reducing knee pain and improving daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
This study tests if adding TENS (a pain-relieving electrical stimulation) to a standard exercise program helps people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move better.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises for knee osteoarthritis: one focuses on relaxing specific muscles around the knee (the iliotibial band and pes anserine), and the other focuses on balance and body awareness (proprioception). Both may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation (called FES) combined with exercise can help strengthen the muscles around your knee. It may reduce pain and improve function for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis.
