Overview

Randomised clinical trial shows greater pain reduction in knee osteoarthritis with mobilization therapy, indicating improved mobility and function.

Key Points

  • MWM combined with usual care significantly reduced pain and improved knee function in OA patients, compared to usual care alone.
  • The MWM group achieved a median NPRS change of –4.0 compared to –2.0 in the control group, showing a significant improvement.
  • A single-blind randomised controlled trial was conducted over six weeks with adults aged 40-65 diagnosed with knee OA.
  • Incorporating MWM into physiotherapy may enhance treatment efficacy for knee osteoarthritis, highlighting a potential shift in clinical practice.
