Introduction[edit | edit source]

Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis and it leads to a major health economic burden. It commonly occurs in weight bearing joints such as hip and knee , with knee joint being more often involved.[1]It also involves the hand.

In osteoarthritis, initially there is molecular derangement (interrupted joint metabolism) followed by anatomical and physiological derangements such as cartilage degeneration, osteophyte formation, bone remodeling, joint inflammation and loss of normal function. Clinically the patients present with pain and stiffness in affected joint. Morning stiffness is also present.[2] The overall risk of this condition is more in obese population and even those who had previous joint injury. It has been proved that knee joint pain is reduced when obese patients undergo weight reduction.[1]

Therapeutic exercise is defined as bodily movement prescribed to correct impairment, improve the function of musculoskeletal system and maintain a state of well being. It is prescribed to the patients of osteoarthritis irrespective of age, comorbidity, severity of pain or disability.[3]Therapeutic exercises(type/ dose) are decided by the physical therapist based on the need of the patient.[3]

Exercises have beneficial effect on the patients of OA. It can improve in terms of muscle strength, mobility, coordination as well as help to relieve pain.[4]The patient can become improve their functional status by doing exercises on regular basis. Usually weight bearing and non weight bearing exercises are given. It helps in prevention too.
