Simple Home-Based Exercise for Knee Osteoarthritis

May 28, 2008 updated by: Srinakharinwirot University

The Relationship of Knee Joint Osteoarthritis to Balance and Walking Ability.

  1. Simple home-based standing balance training and isometric knee extension exercise for 4 weeks would improve functional ability and knee muscle strength of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
  2. The outcome of standing balance training is different from isometric knee extension exercise.
