适应症

试验速览

•1. Participants diagnosed with medial knee OA either clinically or radiographically by a consultant/GP and meeting the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for knee OA (Altman, 1987)
•2. 40 years or older
•3. Able to walk for at least 100 metres.
•4. Speak and understand English as the patients needed to understand the patient information sheet and the consent forms, which were written in English. The educational materials and patient reported measures were also in English. As a pilot study, there was not sufficient funding to translate these into other languages.

•1. Diagnosis of patellofemoral or lateral knee OA more than medial
•2. Currently wearing a brace or insoles
•3. Currently using cane or other assistive devices to help mobility
•4. Severe cognitive, cardio-respiratory, musculoskeletal or neurological problems other than knee OA
•5. Taking medications that would limit participation in the exercise programme and/or assessments
•6. A history of high tibial osteotomy or other realignment surgery or total knee replacement. The effect of a conservative intervention (i.e. exercises) on loading is under investigation and these interventions change the loading on the knee and are considered the last choice of treatment with knee OA.
•7. Corticosteroid injection in the knee in the last three months to ensure it does not interfere with the results of the exercise programme, as it has short-term effect on pain (Bellamy et al., 2006)
•8. Current participation in other treatment programmes that might affect the results of this pilot study, such as other exercise programmes, manual therapy, or acupuncture
•9. Gross ligament instability
