Trajectories of perceived exertion and pain over a 12-week neuromuscular exercise program in patients with knee osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Sep 04, 2020
Primeau C, Birmingham TB, Moyer RF, et al. - This study was intended to present trajectories for perceived exertion and exercise-induced knee pain during a neuromuscular exercise program for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Researchers included participants with knee OA who completed a 12-week neuromuscular exercise program consisting of weekly supervised sessions plus home exercises. In this study, 56 patients (95%) completed the program. The perceived exertion during exercise progressed from ‘ somewhat hard’ to ‘ very hard’ at 9 weeks, while exercise-induced knee pain decreased in patients with knee OA participating in a 12-week neuromuscular exercise program. The data exhibited that individuals were able to work harder while experiencing reduces rather than increases in pain.
