Summary

Physical exercise is a widely recommended treatment modality for osteoarthritis, which can be performed through a supervised group exercise or a home exercise program. However, up to now only little research has been conducted on the home exercise program in Brazil. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy between supervised group exercise and home exercise program in people with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: The study population consists of 46 men and woman with knee osteoarthritis aged between 40 and 65. The patients should be clinically diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and classified in Kelgreen-Laurence grades I, II and III. Primary outcomes are the Westerm Ontário and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, 40-meter walk test, isometric strength of hip (abduction and adduction) and knee (flexion and extension) and postural control. The patients are randomized into 2 groups, with one group receiving 12 sessions of supervised group exercise and the other group following an exercise program at home. The program lasts 6 weeks with both groups receiving the same exercise protocol consisting of stretching, isometric and isotonic exercises for major muscle groups in both lower extremities. The Mann-Whitney U test is used to examine the Anthropometric variables. The ANOVA is used to compare outcomes before and after treatment. A value of p\< 0.05 is considered to be statistically signifcant.
