Comparative study of open and closed kinetic chain exercises on balance and range of motion in patients with knee osteoarthritis
- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a most common chronic degenerative joint disease, affecting weight bearing joints. It gradually leads to a disability restricting the individual from various daily functional activities. It is a combination of mechanical abnormalities characterized by degradation of articular cartilage, articulating joints and subchondral space. This damage to articular cartilage leads to fibrillation, fissures, gross ulcerations and finally disappearance of the full thickness of articular cartilage.Osteoarthritis of knee
