“…39,40 From a cost point of view, it may be economical for individuals with knee osteoarthritis to add in body-weight knee-loading exercises such as Tai Chi and Walking. [41][42][43] There are three main limitations to the current review. First, we may have missed some studies since the databases searched were limited to those listed, and there may have been some potentially relevant trials that were not included due to the search terms used.…”

Objective: To evaluate effects of stationary cycling exercise on pain, function and stiffness in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Data sources: Systematic search conducted in seven databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EBSCO, PEDro, and CNKI) from inception to September 2020. Review methods: Included studies were randomized-controlled trials involving stationary cycling exercise conducted on individuals with knee osteoarthritis. End-trial weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were analyzed, and random-effects models were used. Methodological quality and risk bias were assessed by using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale and Cochrane Collaboration tool, respectively. Results: Eleven studies with 724 participants were found, of which the final meta-analysis was performed with eight. Compared to a control (no exercise), stationary cycling exercise resulted in reduced pain (WMD 12.86, 95% CI 6.90–18.81) and improved sport performance (WMD 8.06, 95% CI 0.92–15.20); although most of the meta-analysis results were statistically significant, improvements in stiffness (WMD 11.47, 95% CI 4.69–18.25), function (WMD 8.28, 95% CI 2.44–14.11), symptoms (WMD 4.15, 95% CI −1.87 to 10.18), daily living (WMD 6.43, 95% CI 3.19 to 9.66) and quality of life (WMD 0.99, 95% CI −4.27 to 6.25) for individuals with knee osteoarthritis were not greater than the minimal clinically important difference values for each of these outcome measures. Conclusions: Stationary cycling exercise relieves pain and improves sport function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis, but may not be as clinically effective for improving stiffness, daily activity, and quality of life.

“…(2) Most of the studies included in the review involved trials that conducted a treatment protocol with a relatively short duration, usually of 4–6 weeks, where changes in range of motion due to slower neuromuscular adaptation may not be achievable. Typically, improving knee range of motion can be achieved in 8–12 weeks ( 51 ).…”

“…14 To improve joint mobility, stability and physical function, various exercise therapies such as strengthening, ROM and stretching exercises have been performed. 15 A recent systematic review recommended specific muscles that should be stretched for optimal KOA care. 16 Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the efficacy of rectus femoris stretching exercises together with stretching exercises of the calf, hamstring and iliotibial band, strength exercises for the quadriceps, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and calf muscles on pain intensity, ROM of the knee, spatiotemporal gait parameters and function in patients with KOA.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the efficacy of rectus femoris stretching on pain intensity, knee range of motion (ROM), spatiotemporal gait parameters and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).MethodsThis parallel group, single-blinded randomised controlled trial was conducted in two outpatient physical therapy clinics. Study participants (n=60, with age>45 years) with mild-to-moderate bilateral KOA were randomised into the study group (SG) and control group (CG). SG received rectus femoris stretching exercises together with stretching exercises of the calf, hamstring and iliotibial band, strength exercises for the quadriceps, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and calf muscles, whereas, the CG received all exercises mentioned for SG except rectus femoris stretching. Pain intensity, ROM, spatiotemporal gait parameters and function were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment.ResultsThe SG showed a significant improvement in the visual analogue scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities measure and ROM (p<0.001). The SG also had a significantly greater step length and speed than CG (p<0.001). Extension ROM did not significant difference between the groups (p>0.05).ConclusionSimple rectus femoris stretching exercises are easy to perform even at home and are beneficial for pain, flexion ROM, function and spatiotemporal gait parameters, such as step length and speed, in KOA patients if the compliance with the exercise regimen is good.Trial registration numberPan African Clinical Trials Registry PACTR202003828737019.
