The effect of combined balance and strength exercise program in patients with different grades of primary knee osteoarthritis

Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative disease that affects all parts of the joint including the surrounding ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Biomechanical changes that occur in KOA cause aggravation of symptoms with further joint damage. Thus, modifying the biomechanics of the knee...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative disease that affects all parts of the joint including the surrounding ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Biomechanical changes that occur in KOA cause aggravation of symptoms with further joint damage. Thus, modifying the biomechanics of the knee joint may help in the prevention and treatment of KOA. For that reason, our aim was to assess the effect of combined balance and strengthening exercise programs in patients with different grades of primary KOA. Results All studied groups showed comparable significant improvement in quadricep muscle strength, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score (
