Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of Nordic walking and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on cardiopulmonary function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Mild-to-moderate knee OA patients are randomly allocated into Experimental group (Nordic walking plus routine management) or Control group (Routine management). While End-stage knee OA patients are randomly allocated into Experimental group (IMT plus pre-operative rehabilitation exercise) or Control group (Pre-operative rehabilitation exercise). Participants are invited to undergo two assessments, including baseline assessment, post-intervention assessment. Researchers will compare two groups to see if the cardiopulmonary function can be improved after intervention.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee
  • Physical Inactivity

Interventions

DEVICE

Nordic walking or inspiratory muscle training

Nordic walking is a form of low-impact aerobic exercise that incorporates the use of walking poles. And inspiratory muscle training is a type of exercise that provides resistance during the inhalation phase.
