“Comparison of Whole Body Vibration With Squat Training Versus Quadriceps Strengthening Exercises on Pain, Balance and Physical Function in Patients With Osteoarthritis of Knee”

Background and Purpose: Osteoarthritis of knee is a degenerative disorder associated with advancing age and is characterized by degradation and erosion of articular cartilage, inflammation of synovial membrane, sclerosis of subchondral bone and formation of osteophytes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of whole body vibration with squat training versus quadriceps strengthening exercises on improving pain, balance and physical function in patients with Osteoarthritis of knee.
