Objective: To identify effective strengthening exercise programs and provide rehabilitation teams and
patients with updated, high-quality recommendations concerning traditional land-based exercises for knee
osteoarthritis.
Methods: A systematic search and adapted selection criteria included comparative controlled trials
with strengthening exercise programs for patients with knee osteoarthritis. A panel of experts reached
consensus on the recommendations using a Delphi survey. A hierarchical alphabetical grading system
(A, B, C+, C, D, D+ or D-) was based on statistical significance (p < 0.5) and clinical importance (⩾15%
improvement).
Results: The 26 high-quality studies identified demonstrated that various strengthening exercise
programs with/without other types of therapeutic exercises are generally effective for improving knee
osteoarthritis management within a six-month period. Strengthening exercise programs demonstrated a
significant improvement for pain relief (four Grade A, ten Grade B, two Grade C+), physical function (four
Grade A, eight Grade B) and quality of life (three Grade B). Strengthening in combination with other types
of exercises (coordination, balance, functional) showed a significant improvement in pain relief (three
Grade A, 11 Grade B, eight Grade C+), physical function (two Grade A, four Grade B, three Grade C+)
and quality of life (one Grade A, one Grade C+).
Conclusion: There are a variety of choices for strengthening exercise programs with positive
recommendations for healthcare professionals and knee osteoarthritis patients. There is a need to
develop combined behavioral and muscle-strengthening strategies to improve long-term maintenance of
regular strengthening exercise programs.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
