Effectiveness of Current Physiotherapy in Osteoarthritis of the Knee

 

Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a multifactorial disease that develops with many causes such as aging, obesity, genetic factors, and mechanical load. The main symptoms of OA are the initial degeneration and destruction of knee articular cartilage, and the mechanical load and accumulation of abnormal bone turnover (bone resorption and formation) that occurs in the subchondral bone. Until now, physiotherapy approaches for knee OA have been focused on as the main pathological conditions of articular cartilage destruction and bone changes around the joints. However, in recent years, it has been perceived as a regression change in all joint components, including the meniscus, joint capsule, ligaments, and muscles. The purpose of this review is to explain current physiotherapy methods applied to knee OA patients and the findings of research on this subject.
