ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of exercise program called Egoscue Exercises to help people with knee osteoarthritis, a common condition where the knee joint becomes painful and stiff. The goal is to see if these exercises can improve symptoms and help manage the condition in a way that might reduce the need for medications, which can sometimes have side effects.

The study is looking for men and women between the ages of 45 and 65 who have been diagnosed with moderate knee osteoarthritis and have a body weight above a certain level (a BMI over 25). People with very mild or very severe knee osteoarthritis, or those currently receiving steroid treatments or joint injections, will not be able to join. Participants in the study can expect to try the Egoscue Exercises, which are designed to improve movement and reduce pain, and their progress will be monitored to see how well the exercises work. This trial is not yet recruiting but aims to offer a new option for managing knee osteoarthritis beyond traditional drug treatments.
