Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative osteoarthritis that accompanies joint pain, joint deformities, and functional impairments. It is common in middle-aged, elderly, and female populations, and it has a serious impact on the daily activities and living standards of patients with the aging of our country's society, the number of patients with knee osteoarthritis continues to increase, and it will become a serious joint disease that poses a threat to the health of the middle-aged and elderly population. Due to its low economic cost, relatively simple treatment methods, and strong analgesic effects, exercise therapy has been recommended as the first-line treatment method for KOA in numerous domestic and foreign diagnostic and treatment guidelines. The methods of sports training for KOA mainly include strength training, aerobic exercise, water exercise, traditional health care exercise and other single treatment methods, as well as combination therapy of sports therapy and acupuncture and moxibustion. However, exercise therapy has not yet been widely used in China. Therefore, this article summarizes the research progress and existing literature evidence related to exercise training for KOA, with the aim of providing reference for the treatment of KOA through exercise training.
