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 special balance exercises on a moving platform can improve steadiness and walking in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. The goal is to see if this type of training helps reduce pain and improve mobility.
This study looks at whether adding resistance (strength) exercises to joint mobilization helps people with knee osteoarthritis move better, feel less pain, and get stronger. You'll do standard joint mobilization plus a program of exercises like leg presses and squats.
This study tests if doing leg strengthening exercises at home can improve muscle strength, balance, and daily function in older adults. It may help you stay steady on your feet and move more easily.
