Abstract

Purpose: Dynamic biomechanical markers are known to be associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression, pain, and functional limitations. While exercise in general is known to improve knee OA patients’ clinical outcomes, it remains unclear if specific rehab exercises can modify these biomechanical markers. Previous studies suggest that neuromuscular exercises, which emphasize on the control of weight-bearing movements, appear to be more suitable for this purpose. A recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) showed that a personalized conservative care approach including a tailored home-based exercise program, derived from a knee kinesiography exam, can impact these markers and improve clinical outcomes.
