Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of variable load training in patients with knee osteoarthrosis.

The intervention will consist of resistance training with variable load in knee extension- and flexion. The control group will receive conventional strength training with rubber band.

Outcome measures will be the Knee Osteoarthrosis Outcome Score, functional capacity measured in a sit to stand test, 30m. pace walk and a 9 step stair climb test. Additionally isometric strength in knee flexion- and extension will be measured.

Conditions

  • Resistance Training

Interventions

OTHER

Variable load training

Based on symptoms/strength measured in an isometric maximum strength test at five different angles of knee flexion- and extension, participants will be training with variable load during both concentric and excentric phase of the dynamic movement. Initially participants will start at 40% of symptom limited isometric strength, this will increase to 50% during the training period.

OTHER

Conventional strength training

Conventional strength training with rubber bands in knee flexion- and extension, additionally hip abduction- and adduction.
