Balance Platform Exercises for Knee Osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
