Abstract:
This study investigates knee osteoarthritis by enrolling twenty adults aged forty to fifty with mild disease, who are randomly assigned to an agility training group or a proprioceptive circuit training group for six weeks, with sessions three times per week. Pain, range of motion, and functional activity are measured at baseline and after the intervention using a goniometer and the Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index. The major finding indicates that agility training yields greater improvements in both the Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index scores and range of motion compared with proprioceptive circuit training. The conclusion is that agility training is more effective than proprioceptive circuit training for improving pain-related function and joint mobility in mild knee osteoarthritis.
