“…In the present study, after an 8-week training, the majority of individuals in training groups demonstrated improvement in ankle and knee isometric and isokinetic strengths [37][38][39][40] although the control group (social activity group) also showed slight ankle and knee improvement. Strength improvement in the control group was an interesting outcome in the present study because experimenters expected to see significant strength improvement in the balance and weight training social activity for older adults might also be beneficial [41][42][43].…”

“…Although social activities could play a role in improving strength and proprioceptive sensitivity at the ankle and knee joints, it does not enhance postural stability as much as formal physical training. The results from the present study suggested that only formal physical training could enhance integration of the three systems and increase postural control [37][38][39][40]. Diminished proprioception with aging may result in failure to sense changes in the displacement of the center of mass [13].…”

“…These results were somewhat surprising, because the strength and proprioceptive sensitivity improved in all groups including the control group (social activity group) after 8 weeks, whereas only individuals with formal weight or balance training exhibited improvements in postural stability. This may indicate that formal physical training is needed for the elderly to improve postural stability [37][38][39][40] although simply being active could be a factor in delaying degradations in strength as well as proprioceptive sensitivity.…”

Abstract. The present study evaluated effects of exercise training on the proprioception sensitivity, postural stability, and the likelihood of slip-induced falls. Eighteen older adults (6 in balance, 6 in weight, and 6 in control groups) participated in this study. Three groups met three times per week over the course of eight weeks. Ankle and knee proprioception sensitivities and postural stability were measured. Slip-induced events were introduced for all participants before and after training. The results indicated that, overall, strength and postural stability were improved only in the training group, although proprioception sensitivity was improved in all groups. Training for older adults resulted in decreased likelihood of slipinduced falls. The study suggested that proprioception can be improved by simply being active, however, the results suggested that training would aid older adults in reducing the likelihood of slip-induced falls.

“…Exercise is a key component of the conservative nonpharmacological treatment for patients with osteoarthritis, and it may decrease pain sensitivity [31] and improve muscle strength, joint range of motion, proprioception, balance, and cardiovascular fitness [32][33][34] without any large adverse effects or costs. On the other hand, inappropriate exercises can exacerbate knee pain and damage the joint structure.…”

Efficacy of simple integrated group rehabilitation program for patients with knee osteoarthritis: Single-blind randomized controlled trial

et al. 2015

Abstract-We investigated the role of an evidence-based integrated group rehabilitation program on the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This was a two-group, randomized controlled, 8 wk trial with 41 patients with moderate to very severe KOA. Patients were assigned to an intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). After both groups had received a self-management education program, IG participants underwent a rehabilitation program, including educational aspects about KOA followed by exercises. CG participants received only general health orientation about KOA during this period. The outcome measures were the Lequesne algofunctional index; 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); and chair-stand, sit-and-reach, timed up-and-go, and 6-minute walk tests. Analysis of covariance revealed significant postintervention improvements of IG participants compared with CG participants (p < 0.05) on Lequesne total score and pain and function subdomains; SF-36 physical function, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, and role emotional subdomains; and performance assessed by chair-stand, timed up-and-go, and 6-minute walk tests. Focusing on the primary outcome (Lequesne total score), the mean +/-standard deviation after 8 wk was 5.50 +/-2.98 for the IG and 7.87 +/-3. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/ NCT01850862?term=NCT01850862&rank=1

“…Since the knee and ankle are two important joints in the lower limb kinematic chain integrity, any proprioceptive acuity changes in these joints may have dramatic influences on the functional activity (Garn & Newton, 1988). It is hypothesized that exercise programs that mainly focus on joint proprioception are important to improve proprioception acuity and functional activity of the lower limb (Jan et al, 2008;Cuğ et al, 2012).…”

Background: Proprioception plays an integral role in the neuromotor control of the knee joint. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of knee joint proprioception deficit and regular exercise activities with obesity. Material/Method:In this case control study, we had 60 participants, aged 18 to 35 in four groups (15 athletes obese; 15 athletes with normal weight; 15 non-athletes obese; 15 non-athletes with normal weight). The average Body Mass Index for the obese groups was 33.50±(3.10) kg/m 2 and for the normal weight groups was 23.77±(2.94) kg/m 2 . We used a Biodex Multi-Joint System 4 Isokinetic Dynamometer to examine proprioception acuity as the amount of a subject's error when trying to reproduce a test knee extension angle (a measure of the joint position sense). We tested proprioception actively (active reproduction test; AAR) and passively (passive reproduction test; PAR) in the right leg. Results:The non-athlete obese group had significantly poorer proprioception acuity in the knee extension movement compared to the normal weight groups and also compared to the athlete obese group. For knee active angle reproduction test AAR, a significant difference was found (p=0.011). The results for passive angle reproduction test PAR, revealed no significant differences between the four groups (p=0.596). Conclusions:The obese groups showed a deficit in the proprioception function in knee extension movement. Furthermore, the findings suggest that doing regular weight bearing training is associated with better proprioceptive function, even in obese groups. It could manifest that the deleterious effect of obesity on the knee joint proprioception might be stronger than the beneficial influence of exercise training.
