This trial tests a guided physical therapy program designed specifically for older adults with knee osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear of the knee joint). The program aims to improve movement, strength, and quality of life through structured exercises and therapy.
This study looks at how biological, psychological, and social factors affect people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help researchers better understand your condition and find better ways to support you.
This study looks at how emotional awareness—specifically the ability to identify and understand your feelings—affects how well physical therapy works for knee osteoarthritis pain. Researchers want to understand whether people who find it harder to recognize their emotions respond differently to a standardized physical therapy program.
This study tests if a specific physical therapy program can help people with shoulder arthritis (wear-and-tear in the shoulder joint) feel better and move more easily without surgery. It may help you if you have this type of arthritis and have not tried physical therapy recently.
This study compares two different physical therapy methods for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. One approach focuses on muscle control and alignment (Sahrmann's method), while the other uses standard physical therapy exercises. The goal is to see which approach helps reduce pain and improve knee function better.
This study tests if a program of guided exercises can reduce pain and improve movement for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and are between 50 and 75, this may help you feel better and move more easily.
