Exercise programs for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two exercise programs for knee osteoarthritis: the Egoscue method alone, and Egoscue combined with another therapy called MWM. It aims to see if adding MWM provides extra pain relief and better function.

This study tests a specific set of posture and movement exercises (called Egoscue exercises) to see if they help reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you are in the right age range and have moderate knee arthritis, these exercises might be a drug-free way to help your knees feel better.
This study compares two exercise programs—the Otago program and a neuromuscular exercise program—to see which is better at improving knee pain and physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It lasts six weeks, with two sessions each week.
This study tests whether specific exercises can reduce knee pain and improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you'll do supervised exercises and may feel better moving around.
This trial tests whether a yoga program can improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and stiffness while improving mobility.
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 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.
