PHYSIOTHERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS IN ELDERLY by Cătălina Mihaela Dascălu, Paul Lucaci, Marius Neculăeș, Beatrice Aurelia Abalașei

“…The aim of the study was to identify an effective exercise protocol addressed to elderly patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis so that by applying it can be obtained a significant decrease in pain, improvement in knee flexion, muscle strength and functional capacity. The importance of the topic is due to the fact that osteoarthritis of the knee leads to difficulties in carrying out daily activities and to the lack of physical activity as a result of pain.The study was conducted on 10 patients aged between 73 and 81, clinically diagnosed with chronic knee osteoarthritis. …”
