Özet

Objective: Strengthening exercises are given frequently to the patients with knee osteoarthritis. It is known that these patients have proprioceptive deficits. The effect of the kinesthesia exercises which aim to improve proprioception is not known in the knee osteoarthritis. The aim was to compare kinesthetic plus strengthening exercises vs. strengthening exercise alone, and to determine the effects of these exercises on the pain and functional status of women with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the long term.
