Mobilization techniques for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of gentle knee movement treatments to see which one better reduces pain and improves function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have moderate knee osteoarthritis, this trial may help you find a more effective way to manage your symptoms.

This study compares two ways of moving the knee during physical therapy to see which better reduces pain and improves function in knee osteoarthritis. It might help you if you have moderate knee pain and stiffness.
This study compares two ways of moving the knee joint to reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. You will either do the joint mobilization yourself at home or have a physical therapist do it for you, and both groups will also do exercises. The goal is to see if self-applied techniques work as well as those done by a therapist.
This study tests two hands-on therapies: reflexology (gentle pressure on your feet) and a type of joint mobilization called Mulligan. These may help reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises — one done in water and one done on land — to see which is better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis.
This study compares a movement therapy called Basic Body Awareness Therapy to usual care for people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if this therapy can improve pain, movement, and quality of life.
