Sensory-motor training versus resistance training among patients with knee osteoarthritis: randomized single-blind controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteoarthritis of the knee is defined as a progressive disease of the synovial joints and is characterized by failure of joint damage repair. The objective here was to compare the effectiveness of sensory-motor training versus resistance training among patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Design and setting

Randomized, single-blinded controlled trial conducted at the outpatient service of the University of Santo Amaro.

Methods

A total of 64 patients were randomly assigned to sensory-motor training or resistance training. The evaluations were performed at baseline and 16 weeks after the intervention and included pain evaluation on a visual analogue scale, isometric quadriceps femoris force measurement using a dynamometer, Timed Up and Go test, Tinetti balance
