“…Biomechanically, muscles around ankle and knee reversed their action during retro-walking. In retro-walking, knee gives the primary power producer with co-contraction of quadriceps and hamstring and ankle plantar flexors works as shock absorber [11]. In retro-walking, shear force at knee joint directed anteriorly whereas it moves posteriorly in forward walking [47].…”

“…In contrast, the distal segment of the lower limb is fixed during the closed kinetic chain exercises. The closed kinetic chain exercises are closely related to the activities that we performed in daily life and more functional in nature [11, 12]. In addition, closed kinetic chain exercise could also improve joint proprioception, muscle strength, and balance [8, 13–15].…”

Background: Previous studies reported the beneficial effects of walking in individual with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA). The current study aimed to compare the effect of 6-week retro versus forward walking program versus control group on pain, functional disability, quadriceps muscle strength and physical performance in individuals with knee OA. Methods: A three-arm single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial and intention-to-treat analysis was conducted in outpatient physiotherapy department, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. Sixty-eight individuals (mean age, 55.6 years; 38 female) with knee OA participated. The participants in the retro or forward walking group completed 10 min of supervised retro or forward walking training in addition to usual care, 3 days/ week for 6 weeks. The control group received a routine physiotherapy program. This program comprises a combination of closed and open kinematic chain exercises, including straight leg raising, isometric quadriceps, isometric hip adduction, terminal knee extension, semi-squat, and leg press. The primary outcomes were mean pain and knee function score measured by the numerical rating scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, respectively. The secondary outcomes were mean score of quadriceps muscle strength and timed up and go test scores. All the outcomes were analyzed at baseline and week 6.

BackgroundWalking, a closed kinetic chain (CKC) activity, is widely used in knee rehabilitation as it allows early weight bearing and movement. It has been suggested that retro-walking may provide additional benefits beyond those experienced by forward-walking. The present study will investigate the effect of retro- and forward-walking on quadriceps muscle strength, pain, function, balance and mobility in knee Osteoarthritis (OA) subjects.Methods/DesignSixty-nine participants with knee OA will be recruited from the outpatient department in this randomized controlled trial. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups; retro walking, forward walking or control group. The training program will be 3 days/week for 6 weeks. In addition, all the participants will receive a standard physiotherapy training program. An independent assessor blinded to group assignment will measure quadriceps muscle strength, knee pain intensity, functional disability, and mobility at baseline and 6 weeks after training.DiscussionThe results of this study will enhance our understanding on the therapeutic effects of walking (retro- or forward-walking) in knee OA. The findings from this study will help determine whether retro- or forward-walking or both are effective in the rehabilitation of subjects with knee OA.Trial registrationControlled Trials ISRCTN12850845, Registered 26 January 2015.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an extremely prevalent Rheumatic Musculoskeletal disorder and the prevalence of knee OA in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women is reported to be high in many parts of India. Though a growing body of evidence suggests the effectiveness of Combined Kinetic Chain Exercises (CCEs) in the management of knee OA but a precise protocol is yet to be established. The study was aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two different protocols of CCEs versus conventional CCEs in the management of knee osteoarthritis.151 peri-menopausal/ post menopausal women (40-65 years) with knee osteoarthritis were randomly allocated to either group A (Control group: conventional combined kinetic chain exercises), group B (retrowalking and conventional combined kinetic chain exercises) or group C (perturbation training and conventional combined kinetic chain exercises). Intervention was given for 3 days/week for 6 weeks. Outcome measures used were Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). SPSS 21.0 version was used for all statistical analysis. Paired t-test was used for within group analysis and unpaired t-test was used for between group comparisons. Level of significance was considered as p<0.05.Statistically significant improvements were seen within all the three groups at the end of 6 weeks of treatment. Subjects in both the experimental groups (group B and group C) exhibited statistically significant improvements than group A (control group) in all outcome measures. Group B showed better improvements in all outcome measures when compared to group C; but the differences were not statistically significant. It can be concluded that Retrowalking combined with conventional CCEs and Perturbation exercises combined with conventional CCEs are equally effective in the treatment of knee OA; but significantly better than conventional CCEs alone.
