Current Situation and Prospect of Exercise Therapy in Prevention and Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis

Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a kind of chronic degenerative osteoarthrosis that mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. The common clinical symptoms include knee joint pain, swelling and limited movement, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients, and has a certain degree of disability. As a safe and effective treatment method, aquatic exercise therapy has been accepted by more and more patients, and is gradually supported by international evidence-based medical evidence. In the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injury, resistance training also plays a vital role. As a new type of treatment, blood flow restriction training can not only design personalized and precise rehabilitation programs, but also achieve the effect of traditional muscle strength training and high-intensity training while reducing the load, but also accelerate the rehabilitation of patients. Whether it is underwater exercise therapy or muscle strength training, there are differences in the efficacy of individuals. How to develop personalized exercise prescriptions to meet the needs of different patients with knee osteoarthritis has become a clinical problem that researchers need to consider in the next step.
