Based on Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee (Non-Arthroplasty, Non-Pharmacological) evidence base guideline, this e-workshop will include strong to moderate recommendations: Lateral Wedge Insoles, Braces, Supervised Exercise, Neuromuscular Training, Self-Management, Patient Education, Weight Loss Intervention, Manual Therapy, Massage, Laser Treatment, TENS, Shockwave...etc.
Various International Knee OA Guidelines, all emphasize the importance of knee joint movement, functional exercises for the conservative management of knee OA and post TKR rehabilitation.
