“…The sit-and-reach test is a common measure of flexibility of the hamstrings and lower back muscles. The rehabilitation program contained stretching exercises for the major muscle groups of the lower limbs, as recommended in the literature [6,44]. However, it is possible that this ability has not improved due to the duration (about 5 min) and frequency (2 times/wk) of the stretching exercises, which are below the recommended levels for people with osteoarthritis [45][46].…”

Abstract-We investigated the role of an evidence-based integrated group rehabilitation program on the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This was a two-group, randomized controlled, 8 wk trial with 41 patients with moderate to very severe KOA. Patients were assigned to an intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). After both groups had received a self-management education program, IG participants underwent a rehabilitation program, including educational aspects about KOA followed by exercises. CG participants received only general health orientation about KOA during this period. The outcome measures were the Lequesne algofunctional index; 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); and chair-stand, sit-and-reach, timed up-and-go, and 6-minute walk tests. Analysis of covariance revealed significant postintervention improvements of IG participants compared with CG participants (p < 0.05) on Lequesne total score and pain and function subdomains; SF-36 physical function, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, and role emotional subdomains; and performance assessed by chair-stand, timed up-and-go, and 6-minute walk tests. Focusing on the primary outcome (Lequesne total score), the mean +/-standard deviation after 8 wk was 5.50 +/-2.98 for the IG and 7.87 +/-3. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/ NCT01850862?term=NCT01850862&rank=1

“…Given that knee OA is a long-term chronic condition, allowing people to self-manage and perform their exercise programmes within their own home may be advantageous [49]. Previous studies have demonstrated that home-exercise programmes can be successfully delivered providing favourable clinical outcomes in this population [50,51]. However, only hospital-delivery exercises were shown to improve JPS compared to home-based interventions in Tunay et al's [52] study.…”

[Purpose] To assess the effect of hamstring and quadriceps strengthening exercises on pain intensity, gait velocity, maximum isometric strength, and activities of daily living of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). [Subjects and Methods] A total of 20 patients with knee OA, 50 to 65 years of age (57.65 ± 4.78 years), received hot packs, strengthening exercises for the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles and stretching exercises for hamstring muscles. Outcome measures included: the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA index questionnaire (WOMAC) scores for assessing health status and health outcomes of knee OA; self-reported pain intensity scores, measured using a visual analogue scale; the 50 ft walk test (a measure of gait velocity and function); and handheld dynamometry (a tool used to measure maximum isometric strength of knee extension and flexion). [Results] There was a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention measures of pain intensity, 50 ft walk times, hamstring strength, and quadriceps strength. Significant differences in WOMAC measures were also observed in the subscales of pain, stiffness and physical function, as well as WOMAC total scores. [Conclusion] Strengthening the hamstring muscles in addition to strengthening the quadriceps muscles proved to be beneficial for perceived knee pain, range of motion, and decreasing the limitation of functional performance of patients with knee OA.
