Quasi-experimental analysis shows CKC and OKC exercises improve balance and health in elderly osteoarthritis patients, suggesting CKC offers greater benefits.
Key Points
CKC and OKC exercises significantly improved dynamic balance and health status in elderly patients with osteoarthritis.
WOMAC scores decreased significantly for both exercise groups, indicating improved health status after intervention.
Dynamic balance, measured through TUG, showed significant performance enhancement in both groups over a two-week period.
CKC exercises were associated with greater overall functional improvement compared to OKC exercises.
