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.
