Summary

The purpose of the study is to explore if a subgroup of people with osteoarthritic knees can be identified using the McKenzie System of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy.

In the spine this subgroup, termed derangement,has been shown to respond rapidly to specific directional exercises.

The trial will explore whether these derangements in the knee respond to specific exercises compared to a control group with no exercises and non-derangement knees given general exercises.
