A systemic review and meta-analysis looked at 217 randomised controlled trials with over 15 thousand participants in order to evaluate different exercise interventions in people with osteoarthritis of the knee.
They found that overall aerobic exercise was the best at improving pain, function, gait and quality of life.
They evaluated several types of exercise including aerobic, flexibility, strengthening, mind-body, neuromotor and mixed exercise.
The outcomes measured were pain, physical function, gait and quality of life.
Follow up was done at 4, 12 and 24 weeks.
Although you would expect improvement with almost all of these exercise regimes, aerobic exercise came out top. So, get your walking shoes on.
