Overview

Randomized trial improved pain scores and functional performance in knee osteoarthritis, highlighting CKCE efficacy with bracing.

Key Points

  • Group B showed significant pain reduction and enhanced functional performance compared to Group A, with p<0.0001.
  • Pain scores decreased more effectively in Group B, showcasing a clear advantage of CKCE combined with a customized knee brace.
  • Assessment involved visual analogue scale, range of motion, and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome scores across 196 participants.
  • Supports using CKCE with bracing as a viable treatment for individuals with bilateral medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
