Overview

Quasi-experimental analysis shows CKC and OKC exercises improve balance and health in elderly osteoarthritis patients, suggesting CKC offers greater benefits.

Key Points

  • CKC and OKC exercises significantly improved dynamic balance and health status in elderly patients with osteoarthritis.
  • WOMAC scores decreased significantly for both exercise groups, indicating improved health status after intervention.
  • Dynamic balance, measured through TUG, showed significant performance enhancement in both groups over a two-week period.
  • CKC exercises were associated with greater overall functional improvement compared to OKC exercises.
