Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are differences in balance, strength, functional performance and self-reported outcomes for subjects with knee osteoarthritis who complete a low intensity, long duration eccentric training program compared to those who complete a high intensity, short duration eccentric training program. This study will be utilizing the Eccentron (manufactured by BTE Technologies) for the performance of all eccentric exercise.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

High Intensity Short Duration Exercise

PROCEDURE

Low intensity Long Duration Exercise

Participants randomized to this group will perform 5-20 minutes of continuous eccentric exercise using the Eccentron set at 50% of the participant's one repetition maximum.
