Overview
Brief Summary
To evaluate the effectiveness of the method Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) as physical therapy approach to the reduction of pain and improvement in functional performance and quality of life in women with knee osteoarthritis.
Detailed Description
Patients will be divided into two groups: group perform proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and other group submit performing resistance exercises.
