Name: Jeba Ahmed MPT 1 st yr .The oxford college of physiotherapy

Background: Degenerative osteoarthritis is the common form of arthritis and is a

major cause of morbidity and functional limitation . The relationship between

pain intensity and degree of inaccuracy of knee joint position sense were

positively correlated at 60 and 90 degree knee flexion.

Objective: The objective of the study is to examine effect of physiotherapy

rehabilitation program on knee osteoarthritis in patients to determine whether

high intensity or low intensity strength training reduces knee pain on different

pain intensity

Method: A review -article was conducted to summarize the effectiveness of

physiotherapy strengthening program on different pain intensity based on

PUBMED, GOOGLE SCHOLAR from year 2020-2021 with relevant search terms of

OA knee, strengthening exercise , pain management.

Result: The pre intervention VAS score of the mild pain group was lower than that

of the severe pain group.

The post intervention VAS score of the mild pain group was significantly lower

than those of the moderate and severe pain groups.

Conclusion : The low intensity magnitude of pain is one of the prominent factors

that are responsible for the improvement of knee OA.
