Weight-bearing physiotherapy for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares how men and women respond to a special type of physiotherapy that uses gradual weight-bearing exercises to reduce knee pain and improve function. It may help you if you have moderate knee osteoarthritis and are looking for a non-surgical treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with grade II or III knee osteoarthritis (moderate changes on X-ray).

This study compares two types of exercise—sensory motor training and resistance training—to see which helps more with knee osteoarthritis. It is for people aged 40-60 with mild knee osteoarthritis who haven't exercised in the last 3 months.
This trial tests whether a special knee brace that reduces weight-bearing stress, combined with strengthening exercises, helps reduce pain and improve function in people with moderate knee arthritis. It aims to see if this non-surgical approach can help you move better and hurt less.
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 compares two treatments for knee osteoarthritis: weighted dangling exercises and neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the knee muscle. It aims to see which one reduces pain and improves function better.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (a balance-focused training and a progressive strengthening program) added to usual physical therapy. The goal is to see which works better for reducing knee pain and improving daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
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.
