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 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.
