Walking on an anti-gravity treadmill for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether walking on a special treadmill that reduces the weight on your knees can help with knee pain and function. If you have knee osteoarthritis, this type of training might be an effective way to exercise without causing more joint stress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
