Effects of Egoscue Exercises in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic, debilitating illness with multiple etiologies that affects the entire knee joint. It is a leading cause of disability among the elderly population and necessitates effective interventions beyond pharmacotherapy due to the associated risks. This study will address the existing literature gap by focusing on a novel therapeutic approach known as 'Egoscue Exercises', for managing knee osteoarthritis in the affected population.
