LATEST ➡️ Effectiveness of Quadriceps Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review 📋
⠀⠀
MAIN FINDINGS (n = 9 randomized controlled trials with high methodological study quality)
1️⃣ Strengthening the quadriceps, either by itself or in conjunction with other interventions such as NMES or hip abductor strengthening, significantly lowers pain and improves physical function in adults with knee OA.
⠀⠀
2️⃣ High intensity and low intensity quadriceps training were both effective in reducing pain in adults with knee OA, with no significant difference between the two interventions.
⠀⠀
3️⃣ Both weight‐bearing and non‐weight‐bearing quadriceps training resulted in pain improvement in adults with knee OA.
⠀⠀
4️⃣ Examples of effective exercises for quadriceps training include straight leg raises, terminal knee extensions, and open/closed chain exercises targeting the knee extensors, typically over a 8-12 week period.
