Effectiveness of multimodal active physiotherapy for chronic knee pain: a 12-month randomized controlled trial follow-up study.

ABSTRACT: Active physiotherapy (APT) embraces a patient-centered approach, prioritizing self-management within the biopsychosocial model and involving active patient movements. Beyond structured exercise, APT incorporates pain neuroscience education, Mulligan Mobilization (MWM), and active myofascial release techniques to integrate sensory-motor information for functional recovery and pain relief. This study aims to rigorously compare the effectiveness of APT versus conventional physical therapy (CPT) on pain and functional outcomes in patients with chronic knee pain. Eighty-seven patients with symptomatic and radiographically confirmed knee pain were included in this 12-month follow-up of a randomized controlled trial, conducted at a national institute and a rehabilitation clinic.
