Core Stabilization Exercises in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Istanbul Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital
Summary
Exercise plays a key role in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, but there is no clear evidence on which type of exercise is most effective. Recent studies highlight the benefits of core stabilization exercises for improving knee stability. This study aims to demonstrate the effects of adding core stabilization exercises to conventional exercise therapy for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Interventions
Core stabilization exercises
In most studies, exercises focused on the extremities have been researched. We believe that the positive effects of the core region on walking and postural stability will play a significant role in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
Classical exercise therapy
In the first group of our study, we prescribed exercises that have been proven effective in many studies, are frequently prescribed, and focus on joint range of motion and quadriceps strengthening
