Physiotherapeutic Intervention Techniques for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review.
Curēus 2024 March
Globally, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the leading cause of disability. The most prevalent complaints associated with KOA are knee pain, joint stiffness, and weakness in the muscles of the lower limbs. These symptoms impede movement and result in functional limitations. As a result, people with KOA have a lower quality of life. For all patient groups with knee OA, an effective rehabilitation program focuses on improving knee range of motion, isometric quadriceps strength, and productivity level while reducing discomfort. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) categorization criteria for KOA, research on KOA physiotherapy, and reviews covering various physical therapy interventions, including exercise, physical modalities, and patient education, were used to narrow down the pool of 180 systematic reviews to 15 articles. Google Scholar, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were the databases that were used. The following keyword combinations were included in our search: KOA and physiotherapy or interventions or exercises, strengthening and stretching, concentric and eccentric training. Through our analysis, we identified a few methods that, in addition to standard therapy, could be used in clinical settings for people with osteoarthritis in the knee. It has been shown that Mulligan, Pilates, Kinesiotaping, Aquatic Therapy, and other current therapies are effective. The study employed a broad range of results. This review concludes that rather than relying solely on conventional therapy, it is preferable to combine a number of the most current physiotherapy techniques with it.
