What does the research say?
” Recent studies suggest individual shoe characteristics also affect knee load and there is current interest in the effect of modified shoe designs. Manual therapy, while not to be used as a stand-alone treatment, may be beneficial. In summary, although the research is not equivocal, there is sufficient evidence to indicate that physiotherapy interventions can reduce pain and improve function in those with knee OA.”
What does this mean to me?
Knee pain for arthritis overall is highly benefitted by physical therapy for the purpose of increasing strength, balance, fall prevention, and functional ability at work and ADLs. Overall a lot of research has been exhausted at this topic. But people do forget that even osteoarthritis and degeneration of the joint structure could be done benefited by skilled physical therapy interventions and progressive resistance. Loading a joint progressively gradually and planes of motion that are safe and functional or beneficial to the Physical Therapy patient whether they’re 40 50 60 or 70 years old. We have also seen in other areas that are not arthritic and nature that hip control and strength of the ankle or paramount to injury prevention in the knees drink sports and athletic events.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent chronic joint disease causing pain and disability. Physiotherapy, which encompasses a number of modalities, is a non-invasive treatment option in the management of OA. This review summarizes the evidence for commonly used physiotherapy interventions. There is strong evidence to show short-term beneficial effects of exercise on pain and function, although the type of exercise does not seem to influence treatment outcome. Delivery modes, including individual, group or home exercise are all effective, although therapist contact may improve benefits. Attention to improving adherence to exercise is needed to maximize outcomes in the longer-term. Knee taping applied with the aim of realigning the patella and unloading soft tissues can reduce pain. There is also evidence to support the use of knee braces in people with knee OA. Biomechanical studies show that lateral wedge shoe insoles reduce knee load but clinical trials do not support symptomatic benefits. Recent studies suggest individual shoe characteristics also affect knee load and there is current interest in the effect of modified shoe designs. Manual therapy, while not to be used as a stand-alone treatment, may be beneficial. In summary, although the research is not equivocal, there is sufficient evidence to indicate that physiotherapy interventions can reduce pain and improve function in those with knee OA.
