SHORTS: Knee OA in the Older Adult: What Does the Evidence Say?! #JGPT #SystematicReview #WOMAC

Anwer, S., Alghadir, A., & Brismee, J. (2016). Effect of Home Exercise Program in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy, 39(1), January-March 2016, 38-48.

"The Osteoarthritis Research Society International recommended that non-pharmacological methods include patient education programs, weight reduction, coping strategies, and exercise programs for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, neither a systematic review nor a meta-analysis has been published regarding the effectiveness of home exercise programs for the management of knee OA."

"The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the evidence regarding the effect of home exercise programs with and without supervised clinic-based exercises in the management of knee OA."
