Objective: to evaluate the impact of a three-month resistance exercise program on the pain and functionality of elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis from the city of Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Norte. Method: a quasi-experimental study was performed with 13 elderly patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, who underwent a resistance training program twice a week for 12 weeks. Pain, muscle strength, functionality, quality of life and patient satisfaction were evaluated using the following instruments: the visual analog scale, one repetition maximum testing, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the Timed Up and Go Test, the 6-minute walk Test, the Short Form (36) Health Survey and the Likert scale. The paired T-test and ANOVA for repeated measures were used for statistical analysis. Results: the mean age of the patients was 62.0 (±10.0) years. At the end of the study, the pain, muscle strength, functional status and some areas of quality of life of the elderly had improved. Conclusion: resistance exercises were an effective and safe method of improving the pain, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life of the population studied. The elderly should be encouraged to perform supervised strength training therapy.

“…The increase of strength in the participants of the REG was expected, and had already been observed by other authors who submitted patients with knee OA to resistance training exercises. 15,33 In relation to the KIG, the main focus of the intervention was not to increase strength, but surprisingly patients exhibited very similar results to those of the REG in relation to this variable. The kinesiotherapy applied in this study, involving coordination and proprioception training, is intimately related to functional performance.…”

“…In relation to exercises, two types stand out: resistance exercises (either using external load, one's own body weight, elastic bands, or machines) that overload target muscles, 14,15 and kinesiotherapy that encompasses different types of therapeutic and aerobic exercises (such as isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic stretching and strengthening). 16 …”

Increased life expectancy in several populations makes osteoarthritis (OA) an important public health issue, as it is a very prevalent chronic disease and leading cause of pain and disability among adults and elderly. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare pain, mobility, functional capacity, and strength of patients with knee osteoarthritis submitted to two different interventions: resistance exercise (REG) and kinesiotherapy (KIG). Methods: This was a prospective randomized single blind clinical trial, which involved the participation of 30 adults of both sexes diagnosed with knee OA. Volunteers were evaluated for pain, stiffness, function, functional mobility, and strength by a blinded evaluator before and after the interventions. Through a simple drawing, participants were randomly assigned to one of the two intervention groups, and underwent 15 twice-weekly treatment sessions, lasting 30 minutes each. Results: Both interventions promoted significant improvements in all variables, and there were no reports of any adverse effects throughout the research. Conclusion: Both resistance exercise and kinesiotherapy are effective in improving pain, stiffness, function, functional mobility, and strength in patients with knee OA.

Osteoarthritis of the knee (KOA) is a chronic degenerative musculoskeletal disease associated with functional disability and chronic pain. Currently, physical modalities, such as ultrasound and Laser therapies, are usually prescribed in rehabilitation scenarios as an adjunctive treatment of symptomatic KOA. These therapies have demonstrated great potential to reduce pain and improve the functional capacity of patients with this disease.Thus, the purpose of this case report was to show the effects of prototype equipment specially developed to perform the combined application of therapeutic ultrasound and laser therapy in the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis.The present case reports the use of a prototype of equipment developed to perform the combined application of ultrasound and laser therapy. A 63-year-old woman with KOA for 12 years with painful complaints and worsening of functional capacity was submitted to 12 sessions using the prototype. After treatment, she observed a 95% reduction in pain and a decrease in the WOMAC questionnaire indexes related to pain, morning stiffness, and disability. In addition, to a 50% improvement in the sit and put test.Like this, a single case study shows the efficacy of the combined US and laser therapy on pain and function in the treatment of the symptomatic KOA. The results analyzed, as well as the patient's report make it possible to show the effectiveness in the conjugated treatment and the new equipment.
